JavaWorld Forums: Smartly load your properties (nice Artical)

It is really a nice Artical
My question to Vladimir Roubtsov in orddr for this soluation to work the properties files should be under /WEB-INF/classes/
is there a way to have under diffrent folder
I am using tomcat and i set up reloadable
to true so and i have to updat the property file so if i update it it will reload which i do not want that to happened

reloadable Set to true if you want Catalina to monitor classes in /WEB-INF/classes/ and /WEB-INF/lib for changes, and automatically reload the web application if a change is detected. This feature is very useful during application development, but it requires significant runtime overhead and is not recommended for use on deployed production applications. That's why the default setting for this attribute is false. You can use the Manager web application, however, to trigger reloads of deployed applications on demand.

Thank you,
