I am having a web application that have some config files(.ini) that

Together with the web application, there is an adminstrator console that
allows user to change the settings of the config file . I realize that if
the config file is changed, i would need to restart Tomcat as such my
servlet would read in the changed settings.

I'd redesign the app. Of course you'll need time and source code for this ;-)

There are three kinds of people: men, women and unix.

Since you're using a servlet to read config files, just map it to some URL and call it to reload configuration. You could also use JMX to change configuration at runtime. Spring has nice JMX support.
