You might want to look at the Class.getResourceAsStream(String resource)
method...creating a resource using a property file format, and sticking it
in with your application classes is not such a bad approach, IMHO. Might
even be a bit more portable (what happens when you "put away childish
things" and go to BEA or NAS?). You can then use this stream to load a
property file. IMHO.
