problem with .properties file

[Mukhi Vla]

Hi All,

I am facing a problem with a value from application.properties file.
My project is in spring. I have a .jspf file where I get the key value from application.properties file. Infact the value I have assigned to key is larger. Like

questions.role.display=ROLE_NAME|<strong>I am interested in receiving<strong> newsletters</strong> on arrival of new produtcs every month. 
I will also receive helpful information if I am planning to update my plan.^ confirmation msg to the user upon submission.

Value of the property may not be meaningful to you. I have such large value in it. I have some special characters in the value. I use these special character to split the value into different parts and assign it to different variables to use.


Problem is , when i have my web page open for long time(more than one or two hours ),then I am not seeing this property value on my form. I see blank in that place. But when i restart the server or redeploy the application then i will get this value.

Can anyone tell me whats wrong with this process?

Thanks

Edited for line length--the line break in the property file is not there in the actual file.

Does your application reads the .properties file everytime when your application needs to get a value? Or, does it fetches the values once, and stores them on the application scope to be used later?

I have this file loaded two times from applicationContext.xml

1.

 <bean id="propertyConfigurer" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
		<property name="locations">
			<list>
				<value>classpath:application.properties</value>
			</list>
		</property>
	</bean>

2.

<bean id="messageSource" class="org.springframework.context.support.ResourceBundleMessageSource">
            <property name="basenames">
                <list>
                    <value>appliaction</value>		    
                </list>
            </property>
  </bean>

I am loading the same properties file second time as resourceBundle to access the keys from JSP pages. With the first configuration i am not able to read the keys from JSP page. I have both the configurations in applicationContext.xml

Problem seems related to some Springy stuff - moving this to the Spring forum.
