Hi Prasad, Unless realtime xml data validity is not important for you, you can run a low priority thread that polls to check if the file was modified since last check and then takes appropriate action.

Hi All, We have an xml file containing lot of application mapping (specific to business logic), provided by the client for whom we are building a web application. We want to read the xml and cache the read data while application starts. Also refresh it whenever it gets changed. We are looking for some thing very similar to MessageResources. Please let me how to implement this in struts. KP ----------
