  <p>We have succeeded in setting up the custom properties and reading those in Java code (servlet).</p>
  
  <p>The custom properties include properties that need to be updated on runtime. So we are looking for a way to update the values of some of these custom properties in Java code (servlet). Is there any way we can achieve this?</p>
  
  <p>Also, we noticed that a server restart is required to reflect the updated values in the application. Is there someway we can propagate the changes without server restart?</p>
