hi!
you can load your property file once and on every request you can check if
it has been modified, i.e.:
long lastTimeAccessed;
File propsFile = new File("thePropsFile.props");
Map props;
service(req,res) {
if (propsFile.lastModified()>lastTimeAccessed) {
lastAccesssedTime = propsFile.lastModified();
props = new HashMap((Map) new Properties.load(new
FileInputStream(propsFile)));
}
}
hope this helps!
