How to detect tomcat context reload

I have a config.properties file to store Credentials and IP address for my application as Key Value pairs. However writes to this properties file reloads the application context in tomcat. I am writing to properties file as below

   URL propUrl=this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResource(PROPERTIES_FILE);
   prop.store(new FileOutputStream(propUrl.getPath()), null);

So,

1.) Is there a way to detect a tomcat context reload in Java.

or

2.) Is there a way to prevent context reload and read the config.properties file

To disable automatic reloading of the context (which is the Tomcat term for the webapp), set the reloadable attribute of the <Context> element in the server config to false. See here for reference, search for "reloadable".

  1. If the ServletContextListener is not helping. You can try using a LifeCycleListener
  2. Set the property reloadable=false to prevent reloading of the context.
