In Log4j, there is a feature wherein the system can be initialized to do a configure and watch with an interval. This allows for the log4j system to reload its properties whenever the property file is changed. Does the spring framework have such a Configuration Observer facility wherein the Configuration is reloaded when it changed. The Configuration that needs reloading is not the Springs’s applicationContext.xml but various other configuration files that are initialized using the Spring initialization beans.

I found a utility that does something similar to Log4J here. It’s basically an extension to PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer that reloads properties when they change.
