Answer 1

You can lookup JNDI entries (both environment entries and resources) with the JndiObjectFactoryBean or :

(To use the jee-namespace, you must declare it).

That defines a spring bean named "PATH_ENV" that contains (as a string) the path configured int the environment entry. You can now inject it into other beans:

The remaining difficulty is concatenating the strings. (Unfortunately, there is no JndiPlaceholderConfigurer that would replace placeholders with JNDI environment entries, so you can't use the ${property}/foo syntax to concatenate, and must supply yet another bean definition:

    
        
            /myprop.properties
        
    

(code untested as I don't have a Spring project at hand to test it)
