Ray Kiddy 27.1 3 ==== User-Specific Properties Files ====
4
David Avendasora 25.1 5 You can have any number of **Properties.username** files in your project's Resources directory in-addition-to the default **Properties** file. These Properties.username files will automatically load based on which user is launching the application. This allows you to have custom logging, email, database, etc configuration settings for each developer.

Ray Kiddy 28.1 7 This capability can also be (ab)used in combinination with the Launch parameter **-Duser.name** to specify Production vs Staging/Development properties. For example: a launch parameter of **-Duser.name=deployment** will cause **Properties.deployment** to be read when the application in launched.

11 ==== Development Only Properties File ====
12
13 You can set properties that will only be active if the project is run in Development mode by creating a **Properties.dev** file. It will be loaded for all users.

15 === Database Connection Properties ===
16
17 While the easiest place to set connection properties is in the EOModel, a better place to put them is in the Properties system, that way you can leverage the flexibility of launch-time loading of Properties so that you set connection info for each user, for development or for deployment.
