IIUC you want to set the "reject message" as property (as we discussed

or you could try to do this via the Modifiable interface, e.g.

http://www.yanel.org/javadoc/org/wyona/yanel/core/api/attributes/ModifiableV2.html#write(InputStream)

whereas you could generate an InputStream with for example

new java.io.StringBufferInputStream(sb.toString())

and the "write(InputStream)" implementation would read this and set the 
property on the node.
