You just ask for a property value knowing it’s name and it’ll find it for you by looking in all places. Those places are configurable (it can be in a properties file, in LDAP, in a DB, in wiki pages, etc). The issue I was raising is that we’re naming properties with “<module>.<name>[.<subname>]” in xwiki.properties while this is not a current convention in xproperties (actually we don’t have any convention ATM for xproperty naming AFAIK, sometimes it’s with “_” as in “smtp_host”, sometimes it’s in camelcase as in “displayHiddenDocuments" , sometimes with “.” as in “xwiki.preferences.redirect”).
