You can try this. Here list could be your dir contents.

>>> p1  = '/opt/apache-tomcat-8.0.33/webapps/'
>>> p2 = '/WEB-INF/classes/j2.xml'
>>> list = ['test','`some`']
>>> for i in list:
...     p1+i+p2
... 
'/opt/apache-tomcat-8.0.33/webapps/test/WEB-INF/classes/j2.xml'
'/opt/apache-tomcat-8.0.33/webapps/`some`/WEB-INF/classes/j2.xml'
