How can i access properties from APP server through JNLP with ot using JAR

Question

Hello
i want to retrive a Properties file from WL-7 app installed location like :bea/home/externalized.properties
now i want to use this properties file throgh out the application. if any property is changed in "externalized.properties" that could be reflect dynamically in my code.
So my requirement is :
The current implementaion is using the JNLP down load the required code which contains the properties in .jar files, i have around 500 properties which are embedded in differnet .jar files with differnt property name. So i want to make all 500 properties to get out side from the jar files. and keep that consolidated properties in a single location and access it dynamically after deployed my ear file in wl7 app server.
my application is implemented in SWING and EJB now i want to create an ear file which can be deployed any instance or cluster of WL7 app server.
My Q:
1. How can i access properties file through JNLP? (not a single property, want to access all properties in externalized.properties)
2. is thare any known issue with SUN to load properties file through JNLP?
your help is highly appreciated.

Hey Thanks for your response,
My question is Still not answered,
see infact i have different type of environments to launch my application.
infact my weblogic is deployed at remote location whihch is installed in linux,
code is exist in our local system.
At the time of code build for my local system i'm not able to get the properties from remote WL server,
so at the time of code compilation and making the EAR file i'm not having this externalized properties file in newly generated EAR file.
so once i copied my EAR in to WL7 cluster and i'm running the application using startAdminserver.sh, in this script file i'm defining the
java -DexternalizedProperty=$WL_HOME/externalizedProperty.properties so now i'm able to get this properties to 'externalizedProperty"
But when i download my application required jars, at this time i does not having the property file in my downloaded JAR files.
So i want to access the remote properties file in suh sistuation.
now i'm runnig the application at my local side to launch and Server side as well.
So i have 2 runtimes 1 is my local and another is my server. In this case using "-DexternalizedProperty" i'm able to get this in server side,
once control is come to local system it is not able to find this "-DexternalizedProperty" [externalizedProperty].
Hope now u get my scenario..
Thanks,
