Thanks but I don't like the approach for 2 reasons:
1. I like to put all properties file into one place. Since we have
many tier architecture solution here. It will be a nightmare if we
scatter properties files all over the packages.
2. Putting it in one place allow me to set permission denied easily
on a directory based using the web server facility.
Thanks any other hints?
