Key points to consider are:
1. Bundle the property file(s) in the jar that uses it. Requires you to deploy new jar every time property has to change.
2. Keep the property file outside application EAR/WAR/JAR file(s) but in a location like "\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\<profile>\config\cells\<cell name>", which WAS will copy in all the nodes within ND environment.
3. The name of the property file can be either hard-wired in the application OR picked up from a WAS variable.
4. You can change the property file under "config\cells\<cell name>" folder and WAS will sync it up with all the nodes in ND environment. In Base env you are all set anyways.
