Hmm, ok, the <map:global> section is still supported in 2.2! But I think
its not attribute based, so you have to write:
<map:global>
<something>context://this/that/{some-module:xxx}/foobar.xml</something>
</map:global>
The other solution is to define a properties file with the property:
something=context://this/that/{some-module:xxx}/foobar.xml
Now, regardless of which approach you use, you have to take care that
the reference to your "some-module" gets resolved at the right moment.
As long as you take care of this yourself (or use some component which
does this for you), you're fine.
Does this help?
