Not having much knowledge about the server.xml file, but it's an xml file. So what about a namespace, e.g.
xmlns:adsver="http://directory.apache.org/apacheds/1.5.1/server" ?


Looking at the server.xml a bit closer it looks like a spring-bean definition file. If this configuration file is just
'thrown' in spring it probably makes more sense having a (factory-)bean returning just the version and then injecting
the bean in other beans where ever this could be needful.
