Modifying Properties files in Tomcat

Question

Is it possible to modify a .properties file in Tomcat, that is to add properties to it, instead of just reading them?

Answer 1

You can use Properties#load() to load them into a modifiable map-like structure. After modifying using Properties#setProperty() you can just use Properties#store() to save it back.
