Create a properties file and use the Properties class to load the file at regular intervals by running it in a thread. You might want to store the properties object in a singleton so that you can access it throughout your application.

But then I need to be able to change this variable on the fly without shutting down tomcat and then have it be permanently changed afterwards. What can I do? I've though about using a text file. But I want to read from this text file once only during startup of tomcat, store the value in memory for fast access but then be able to change the value in memory as well as the text file on the fly. What can i use to do this? or is there a better way? Regards, Tom Ly --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! SiteBuilder - Free web site building tool.
