Have thread watch properties file and reload it on change #87

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

Maybe we should add a feature to have a separate thread to
watch the mod time of the file and if it is updated to re-read it. We do
that (carefully ;-) on lots of applications at my day job. Sounds like a
project for 2.1 or 3.0 release.

Carefully being key as threads are outside of the j2ee spec and can cause memory
leaks in app servers. It would probably be worth making the usage of a thread
configurable and check the file when the configuration is accessed instead if 
the
thread is disabled. A asynchronous bean or the like is another possibility but 
that's
getting app server specific and requires external configuration...

This may or not not be necessary pending changes for 2.1 configuration
