So in WO 5 what is the recommended (best) way to save properties

This is really a Java, not WO question now that WO uses Java
properties. So maybe someone with extensive Java experience can answer
this question.
I believe that Properties files in WO frameworks will be merged in
some way with the main app's Properties file. If this is true, what
precedence exists? I.e., if the same property is defined in different
Properties files, which value will prevail? If the app's Properties
file overrides the same properties defined in framework Properties
files, then writing any changed properties back to the app's Properties
file might be the solution. The Properties.store() method appears to
support writing properties back to the app's Properties file using an
appropriate FileOutputStream object. However, WO apps are frequently
installed with administrator ownership and permissions, yet many sites
don't run WO app's with administrator privileges. In such situations,
writing a Properties file might run afoul of file system permissions
problems. Comments?
