I don't know about spring but in hibernate there is one configuration file that you can share between webapp and standalone clients. (Using it in my current project.) If you only use Hibernate to access your database you will be fine. It is also possible to get the DataSource from the hibernate configuration if you want to access the database directly (for performance reasons). I have some SQL scripts that need the database info so I use filtering anyway both as a way to have the configuration values in one place and as a way to easily build for different environments.
