Exposing Application Scope Attributes in Layered Applicatoins

[Ted Husted]

Is there a way to hook into a application scope attributes without a
direct link to a servlet? 

Perhaps through JNDI? 

Specifically, I'd like to hook into the Generic Connection Pool's
datasource, that's exposed as "org.apache.struts.action.DATA_SOURCE" in
the application context, without specifically linking into Struts or
HTTP. (It's a layered architecture thing.)
