Rails - Mar 2013 - Rails engines question

I would like to use my own directory named forms inside my own engine. I
know I can add it to loading paths like this in application.rb
module MyAPP
  class Application < Rails::Application
    config.paths["forms"] =
Rails.root.join(''vendor/myapp/forms'')
  end
end
or inside

and can access it inside controller like this:

  MyAPP::Application.config["forms"]

Which is a bit of a problem since my engine would have to know
application name inside which it runs. So, my questions are:

1. Is there a better way to access config object?. Like session or
params inside controller.

2. What Rails API method is used to search files for example in
MyAPP::Application.config["views"] paths and returns name of file
(view)
if find.

I found it myself.

1. Rails.configuration.paths["forms"]

2. I did my own method for now.

def find_form_file(form)
  Rails.configuration.paths["forms"].each do |path|
    f = "#{path}/#{form}.yml"
    return f if File.exist?(f)
  end
  p "Form file #{form} not found!"
  nil
end
