IntelliJ IDEA 2016.2 tomcat properties not updated

I'm dabbling with IntelliJ after working with eclipse for many years. I've setup my tomcat server and I have my application running just fine. I updated a properties file on my file system in my tomcat conf folder, but the new file contents are not showing up. When debugging in IntelliJ, i see that it has the contents of my old properties file. How can I update intelliJ so it see's my new changes?

IntelliJ creates a small copy of tomcat to start the application server as eclipse does, depending of the operating system you can find it in:

Windows: C:\Users\${user}\.IntelliJIdea${version}\system\tomcat\
Linux  : /home/${user}/.IntelliJIdea${version}/system/tomcat/
Mac    : /Users/${user}/Library/Caches/IntelliJIdea${version}/tomcat/  

So you should update the configuration file in the respective directory
