propsFileName is the name of the bean, which should be initialized with
the string value from the JNDI entry "propertiesFileName" defined in
$CATALINA_HOME/conf/context.xml
This was working, stopped working until a tomcat restart, and is working
again now. My concern is that this may be a bug in tomcat
So what happens is that tomcat startup creates a JNDI environment entry
in the "cross-application" context called "propertiesFileName".
<Environment name="/propertiesFileName"
value="classpath:test-application.properties" type="java.lang.String"
override="true"/>
When each spring app starts, the code <jee:jndi-lookup
id="propsFileName" jndi-name="propertiesFileName"/> in the application
context takes the JNDI environment entry and initializes a bean using
the id "propsFileName" with it.
Finally a spring PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer is created using the
propsFileName bean for the location of the properties file. We use this
to
<bean
class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfi
gurer">
<property name="location" ref="propsFileName"/>
</bean>
Looking more closely at the debug log, this line looks quite suspicious
"Name comp is not bound". comp is the root of the environment hierarchy,
why would that be missing?

Technically speaking, I think that's the default local environment, not
the global environment. You can define <Environment> entries at the
<Server> level in server.xml which would be truly "global". It's all
semantics for this discussion and shouldn't impact this case.

Are you sure you're looking at the right configuration file?

Perhaps propsFileName is bound, but not propertiesFileName.

I don't see where the data is ultimately defined... I just see a bunch
of references that don't point to anything. propertiesFileName ->
propsFileName -> ???
