Spring reload properties without restarting TOMCAT

Question

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?

You can try to use ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource, details are in this link http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9035588/dynamically-load-files-on-classpath-using-reloadableresourcebundlemessagesource — ajup, Apr 18 '17 at 14:55

Add @RefreshScope annotation above the class which consumes the properties (ie has @Value annotation). Example goes as follows:

@RefreshScope
class PropertiesConsumer {
  ....
  @Value(..)
  private consumerFoo;
  ....
}
