Did the contextPath is available as a placeHolder for defining the path of a properties files

Let start with some context:

I use something like this for properties:

<bean id="properties" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertiesFactoryBean">
<property name="ignoreResourceNotFound" value="true"/>
<property name="locations">
<list>
<value>classpath:internal-common.properties</value>
<value>classpath:${server.contextPath}/context.properties</value>
<value>classpath:dev-overwrite.properties</value>
</list>
</property>


The internal-common and the dev-overwrite work as expected.
I can't found the correct placeHolder (not ${server.contextPath} at least) to have an external properties per context.

What I think can't work and are on lot of answer related to this:

You will need support from Spring to do this, the container has no part of this interaction. (I'm not sure if Spring does/does not have such support; I'm just mentioning that the container is not involved.)

Thanks, spring support seems to be done via stackOverflow. A solution may work with spring with some help from the container. In this case, if I use the Context.xml to set a properties, I can then use it in my spring application. However, because of different reason like the autodeploy I prefer to avoid this one if possible.
