Theodore, I'm afraid you use properties the wrong way. Personally, I never set properties in my own code, only read them (except for frameworks I wrote of course). Properties are used to initialize informations.
By setting default values in your framework, you can change them in your application. And you can have several properties files in your have with a different suffix (Properties.staging, Properties.production for example). Then you can set a user through the WOMonitor in the additional arguments like -Duser.name=staging and the right file will be opened. I hope you read the wiki because there are useful informations like http://wiki.objectstyle.org/confluence/display/WO/Project+Wonder+Properties+Files Now if you want to modify on the fly ERJavaMail, use the accessors like setCentralize(boolean) for example because properties can be read once during initialization. If you don't find an accessor, maybe you can't change it. I wouldn't be surprised if the smtp host is one of them.
