I won't touch on the meta-issue of whether or not this is a good idea—to answer
your question: Sure, you can make properties for whatever you like. In
Properties.ted (substitute your actual username on your development machine for
'ted'):
com.example.YourApp.devMode.username=sysadmin
com.example.YourApp.devMode.password=4004
(The keys there are entirely arbitrary. You could just use 'username' and
'password' if you want.) Then, wherever you like in your app:
private static final String USERNAME_KEY =
"com.example.YourApp.devMode.username";
private static final String PASSWORD_KEY =
"com.example.YourApp.devMode.password";
...
if (ERXApplication.isDevelopmentMode()) {
this.setUsername(ERXProperties.stringForKey(USERNAME_KEY));
this.setPassword(ERXProperties.stringForKey(PASSWORD_KEY));
}
