I think we make the servlet: protocol unnecessarily complicated if we try to overload it with webapp global interpretations as well.

agreed

And as I asked before, how does the URI parser given e.g. "servlet:foo/bar" know is "foo" is a servlet service local id or a Spring bean id?

no chance to distinguish between them, IMO.

But there are important use cases for run time discovery of servlet services as well.

definitly. For the use cases that *I* have, a generator will be good enough - I don't think that I need a source for them:

<map:generate type="servlets" src="data/myconfig.xml"/>

This could return something like this:

<servlets>
  <service-A>
    <config>...</config>
  </service->
  <service-B>
    <config>...</config>
  </service-B>
</servlets>

What are the usecases for implementing a servlets: protocol at all? (Maybe I'm overlooking something important here ...)
