Though I have not yet understood what you need clearly, when you are 
talking user defined Properties in Java instead of ResourceBundle, 
lib/soap/property.rb and test/soap/test_property.rb in ruby/1.8.* or 
ruby/1.9.* can be an implementation sample.

My implementation does not support parent-child property chaining of 
ResourceBundle.  Robert's one is clearly demonstrating the concept (and 
already enough useful).
