Hi Eric. Would making your servlet reload all application vars not be akin to simply reloading your servlet altogether, by changing context/init params in your web.xml or context.xml?
If you really want to avoid an application reload, why not just have your app read its values from a properties config file instead of a DB? It would be much more lightweight and standard.
