My idea is to gather the properties into a static java.util.Properties object from a call to a stored procedure and instantiate it in context scope at application startup using the java -d argument to set the environment and filename in the system properties. The properties would then be available to any calling method, same as if fetching from a textfile.

I love it for a persistence framework, but it seems like it might possibly be (mega-)over-kill for this task. Although! ... that would certainly take away any confusion about what the table/field names were (just map your classes to your tables)! The down-side would be that, not only would you have to instantiate your bundle, but you'd also have to instantiate an object for *every single* key/value pair (that got used).
