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 this posting got me thinking about it.

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.
