Can u use property files in a clustered environment. How do u ensure that the file in each of the app server instance on a seperate physical machine on a cluster is the same. Does it mean u have to manually ensure that.
How about storing the property file in a CLAB field of the database, loading it at initialization and then restoring it only when the previous version has crashed. Is this a feasible method.
I think that solution, you have thought of, would be a feasible one.
well u might wanna use JNDI to achieve what u want to. create a properties or any helper object which represents ur properties file and stick it into JNDI. i think shud work for u.
