According to https://stackoverflow.com/q/7751696/116472, $${service.root.url} might work (or not). Using a unicode escape for the '$' sign worked for some people: value="\u0024{service.root.url}/bullpen/readwrite"; and despite the comments in this QA, I'd try defining a <dollar>$</dollar> property and then using ${dollar}{service.root.url}.
