You can put it in your block (jar file) under META-INF/cocoon/properties
or in your web application under WEB-INF/classes/cocoon/properties

It can be anything, but it should be a valid filename of course :) Keep
in mind that property files are processed in alphabetical order.

You can use any name, so no prefix required - all properties
used/defined by Cocoon itself will have the prefix "org.apache.cocoon"
so there shouldn't be any name clashes.
