Hi Sebastain,

There are probably many ways of doing this (I don't know of any "standard" 
way though). Here's some code which i use to populate a Properties object 
from a file:

String xpdlPropertiesFileName = "xpdl.properties"; //file should be in the 
class path..
InputStream is = null;
ClassLoader loader = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();
is = loader.getResourceAsStream(xpdlPropertiesFileName);

//read the properties..
if (!initialized ) {
        if (is != null) {
                processVariables = new Properties();
                processVariables.load(is);
                initialized = true;
        }
        else log.error("Aaaarrgghhh!! xpdl.properties file dne!!!");
}

Regards,
Geeta
