James,

Thanks for your quick reply.

The "current environment" value that I refer to is something I dynamically
derive in my code based on several variables. It's not a static environment
variable. 

Having said that, a few questions come to mind:
1) What kind of system properties are available to me? 
2) Can I programatically set a system property?
3) I am still using *.properties files for my configuration settings. What's
involved in switching to use XML files? Is it just a matter of switching to
an XML file or does it also require coding changes?

Thanks again!

David.
