Christopher, First of all thanks for the reply.

Because I'm not the one who makes the deployment. Think on an enterprise application which has new versions, which customers (many!) can download and deploy over the old one.

You can put "real" resources into META-INF/context.xml. Why not just do that? It is constant (like hardcoded in the application). I can't say to customers: unpack the war, modify a file each time you deploy a new version. Thats OK that I can overcome on that with some sort of automation, but that is what JNDI is for: storing runtime settings.
