Having each Bean get its own connection path itself is not clean, but it's your design, so it's up to you. You can use the other approach mentioned (but shunned) by the original poster, which is to put said configuration information on the classpath. Then each of your classes can get getClass().getResource("/myConfigFile.prop") to get the configuration. That's much more testable and portable, doesn't depend on a container, doesn't depend on the Servlet API.
