Injecting properties to a running java program

[Daesung Park]

Hi,

Is it possible to inject(or modify) properties to a running java program?
For example, is the following scenario feasible?
1. Run a java program
> java -Dprop="x" mytest.class
2. Get pid
> jps
3. Inject a property
> injectprop [pid] prop="Y"
(injectprop is imaginary one.)

I think it is impossible.
If it is really impossible, can you let me know related Java specifications or just links?

I don't know about regular properties loaded into jvm but you can load a set of custom properties from a properties file using Properties and File classes...
