The Ice property mechanism provides a simple way to configure Ice by setting properties in configuration files or on the command line. This also applies to your own applications: you can easily use the
Properties interface to access application-specific properties that you have created for your own needs. The API to access property values is small and simple, making it easy to retrieve property values at run time, yet is flexible enough to allow you to work with different property sets and configuration files if the need arises.
