I have this Spring MVC application that makes use of PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer to load properties using @Value annotation. I understand that all properties are loaded at server startup when context is initialized. Howevver, is there a way that I can access updated properties without having to restart TOMCAT? (perhaps making use of Apache Commons PropertiesConfiguration)?
Is there a way I can configure Apache Commons PropertiesConfiguration to work with Spring PropertyPlaceholderconfigurer?
Add @RefreshScope annotation above the class which consumes the properties (ie has @Value annotation). Example goes as follows:
@RefreshScope
class PropertiesConsumer {
....
@Value(..)
private consumerFoo;
....
}
