I do this albeit not with iBatis.
I use spring's applicationContext (as opposed to a BeanFactory), and
generally I have an ApplicationContextManager class from which I
request the context. It has a getContext() and clearContext() method
in it, like so.
public class AppContextManager {
private ApplicationContext _ctx = null;
public static ApplicationContext getContext() {
if (_ctx == null) {
_ctx = new FileSystem(or XML)ApplicationContext(<params go here>);
}
return _ctx;
}
public static void clearContext() {
_ctx = null;
}
}
Now, whenever I need spring to re-read my config files, I just call
clearContext. I can do this from an EJB, webservice, specific client,
servlet, whatever.
Granted, this re-reads *ALL* the spring config, and not just a
specific setting, but it does work fine.
