My mistake, the plumbing is in the DTD to do this (i.e. a className for a custom MessageResourcesConfig and the <set-property> element) but the digester rules always create the standard MessageResourcesConfig and ignore any custom implementations specified in the className.
However, even if that was fixed - the factory is only given access to the parameter and not the MessageResourcesConfig - so if you did set some custom properties, there isn't a straightforward way to access them. One way you could do this would be to specify the name of a properties file in the "parameter" - then in your factory read the properties from there. Sorry, I assumed that since the DTD provided for setting properties - the mechanism would be in there to make it work.
