Hi
1 You can pack the .ini and classes into a .jar or .war file, each time you modified the .ini, you need to pack them again and redeploy the pack.
or
2 Directly moidfy the .ini in your pack and redeploy the pack.
or
(I am not sure whether this will work out, but
servlet reload .ini in this way)
3 put you .ini file in your bean (or bean container ) working directoy, redeploy the bean classes.
I think the .ini file only can be read during component initial time, so each time you modify your .ini file, youneed to redeploy the component
