--- Comment #6 from Stefan Mayr <ste...@mayr-stefan.de> --- I thought about defining a custom ressource to make an inline configuration possible without messing with the Digester rules. So I searched and found http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/jndi-resources-howto.html#Adding_Custom_Resource_Factories If I understand this correct each attribute in the xml-Element resource will be accessible by my resource object (com.mycompany.MyBean). e.g. >From the example: <Resource name="bean/MyBeanFactory" auth="Container" type="com.mycompany.MyBean" factory="com.mycompany.MyBeanFactory" bar="23"/> here we can access to "bar" and its value "23". Some more google searches later I found collection elements in spring beans: http://static.springsource.org/spring/docs/1.2.9/reference/beans.html#beans-collection-elements . There the bean attributes are configured using sub xml elements. But I cannot find tomcat examples where some sort of collection is written as attribute value (like bar="{collection-element-1}{collection-element-2}") in the server.xml. I doubt this is even possible. So I'm again with an external file, messing with strings or the digester rules. Sorry if this is all a bit twisted.
