Problem passing property to Oozie java action

[C 4.5]

I want to pass to a Oozie java action some configuration information needed
to the application.

I have looked at oozie documentation and various pointers I've found.

Seems like there are several methods that could achieve what I need, and
I've tried several of them out but so far no luck yet.
I'd appreciate if anyone has some further suggestions.

I have tried with: 1.) oozie.mapred.child.java.opts, 2.)
oozie.mapred.child.env, 3.) -D

Below I am posting all the information about what I am doing.
(I set properties in the workflow individually even if the code below
contains all the various methods I tried in a single file .)

None of these methods seem to succeed.

Thanks.

===  Java code:

public class TestOozie {

  public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
      final String prop1 = System.getenv("INFO");

      final String prop2 = System.getProperty("INFO");

     If (prop1 == null && prop2 == null) {
           throw new RuntimeException("failed to get value");
     }
     ...
  }
}
