Will getMessage for new message force a reload in Spring ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource?

I can't find this in the documentation:

Suppose I have a ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource, if I call getMessage() for a property that I just added to the properties file, with another process, will this force a reload, as the property does not exists yet (is not cached), or will this throw an exception?

Do I have to wait for the next cacheRefresh until the property is accessible?

It will throw an exception until the cache times out. The last modified time stamp of the file is evaluated in refreshProperties() but this happens only after a the cache timeout.

If this is a web application, I suggest to create a web service that calls clearCache(). Your external process can then write new property files and invoke the service to force the refresh in a timely manner.
