Look in trhe mail archive, I outlined a simple solution to
this. Basically:

class SharedContext {
    static Resource getSomeResource() {
        // Restore the resource out of its store, or whatever
    }
}

And the in your resources, use:

Resource r = SharedContext.getSomeResource();
r.getValue("some-attribute");
