You can add it to a List of project locations inside your Module 'configure':
public void configure(Binder binder) {
binder.bindList(Constants.SERVER_PROJECT_LOCATIONS_LIST).add("cayenne-xyz.xml");
}
Or explicitly pass it to ServerRuntime, when you are creating it.
Though the first approach provides better encapsulation of your framework.
