Hi Mrkvica,
    You can add properties in component profile of  portalapp.xml file which can be modified later.
Check out the following xml and the java code.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<application>
  <application-config>
    <property name="PrivateSharingReference" value="com.sap.portal.htmlb"/>
  </application-config>
  <components>
    <component name="display">
      <component-config>
        <property name="ClassName" value="com.ust.table.display"/>
        <property name="SecurityZone" value="com.ust.table/high_safety"/>
      </component-config>
      <component-profile>
        <property name="System Alias" value="BWDEV" />
      </component-profile>
    </component>
  </components>
  <services/>
</application>
to get the property "System Alias" of the component.
IPortalComponentRequest request = (IPortalComponentRequest) this.getRequest();
         String system = request.getComponentContext().getProfile().getProperty("System Alias");
