Does the servlet load the properties in its init() method, or are you reading it on
every request? Reading it on every request should work (though a terrible burden).
If you're loading on init, a simple (minded) solution is to add the ability for the
servlet to reload the property file when a special querystring parameter is received:
if (request.getParameter("reloadProperties") != null)
{
// reload property file
}
then when you update the property file just call your servlet with
?reloadProperties=1
