Property file settings don't really let you add OMGraphics to a
layer, unless you are providing a specific layer type with enough
information it needs to fetch data from a particular source. But
anyway, I get what you are asking.

Don't bother with the regenerate here, the layer will take care of it
later.

Try:
mLayer.setList(omgraphiclistToBePlotted);
mLayer.doPrepare();

Don't bother with this, it's not needed. The doPrepare() takes care
of that on the layer, along with calling generate on the
OMGraphicList with the projection it has received from the MapBean.
Alternatively, you can extend OMGraphicHandlerLayer to create your
own layer, and do the work of creating the OMGraphicList in the
overrided prepare() method, where you would return the OMGraphicList
you create. If you want to reuse one list, just call getList() at
the beginning of the prepare() method, and if it's null, that's your
signal to create the list. If it's not null, just generate the list
you get and return it. Call getProjection() to get the current
projection for the generate() method.
See the DemoLayer.prepare() method for an example of this.
Hope this helps,
Don
