Howdy, It'd be very difficult for this mechanism to figure out what the object type in your serialized files is, wouldn't it? ;)
What you can do: - Deserialize the files on startup, into some object (let's call it MyServletConfig). - Write or use (they are a dime a dozen out there) a FileWatchdog, which checks a file every x seconds to see if it has been modified. If so, it sends an event to your MyServletConfig or somewhere else, which re-reads the servlet config. Yoav Shapira Millennium ChemInformatics >-----Original Message----- >From: Mark W.
