Howdy, I don't have to write to a file, as long as I find a way to persistently store the changes and make sure they take effect after a restart. How would I be able to change the static variable on the fly, say through a command line in unix? Aah, you want to change them from outside the

This is more of a question than an answer, but does java have anything like C's mmap()? Which allowed you to map files into memory such that changes to either the file or the area in memory updated the other. I know that this may be too OS specific to satisfy Java's platform independence, but
