I don't think Stripes has that out of the box. Therefore I created a
property reader servlet, that can be set up in web.xml that reads in
properties files from /WEB-INF/conf to a properties object in application
scope, so that it can be used from Stripes and other Java components
afterwards:
Getting started:
1) create the PropertyReader class
2) add xml to web.xml, that loads the PropertyReader servlet and runs the
init method of that.

The code is simplified to ensure easy setup. (No logging mechanism)
The code has not been doublechecked, so please give feedback on whether it
works or not.
There is place for improvements, but basically it makes it very easy to use
properties in your app. Just put them into WEB-INF/conf and the properties
can be used. You can use one property file per logical unit all you have to
ensure is that properties from one properties file doesn't overwrite
properties from another. This will happen if the properties have the same
name.
<servlet>
<servlet-name>ConfigurationReader</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com.blob.PropertyReader</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>path</param-name>
<param-value>WEB-INF/conf</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
package com.blob;
//import statements left out.
public class PropertyReader extends HttpServlet{
public void init() throws ServletException {
//Setting the rootPath property for freemarker template setup.
Configuration.getInstance().getProps().put("rootPath",this.getServletContext().getRealPath(""));
String path = this.getInitParameter("path");
String realPath = this.getServletContext().getRealPath(path);
File dir = new File(realPath);
for (File file : dir.listFiles()) {
if (file.getName().endsWith(".properties")) {
try {
Properties props = new Properties();
props.load(new FileInputStream(file));
Enumeration enumeration = props.keys();
while (enumeration.hasMoreElements()){
String key = (String) enumeration.nextElement();
System.out.println("Adding parameter "+key);
Configuration.getInstance().getProps().put(key,props.getProperty(key).trim());
System.out.println("Added parameter "+key);
}
} catch (IOException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}
