Hi David, And very thank you for your answer. Yes, I think I'll create a small ear that will bind this configuration URL for the server. I would like to use Geronimo2, but it's too far from WAS6, that is the original platform of this application.
FYI, original developers made the discussable choice to put all configuration path to properties files in JNDI references. The only pro I can see is that you can choose the directory you want for these properties files, but damn! That give no clue about the content of the files... Lack of configuration, etc. ;( Thank you for your advice, David.
