How to read properties at runtime

[Ramesh]

Hi,
I am using GWT com.google.gwt.i18n.client.Constants for reading
properties file in GWT. And using GWT.create to create instances for
these properties. Actually these values are read at GWT compile time.
But i want them to read at run time so that i need only to restart the
server when i change these properties. I googled for the solution but
nothing gave me an exact solution. Can some one please help me in
this.

Thanks in Advance...

I think the closest you will get to what you need is to use a combination of Dictionary (http://google-web-toolkit.googlecode.com/svn/javadoc/latest/com/google/gwt/i18n/client/Dictionary.html) and Server side response to create that dictionary and load it to a globally scoped JS object. This would I think give you the run time look up you are looking for.

The idea would be to have some back-end service that reads say a property file and then respond to the client which would consequently build that Dictionary previously mentioned.

Disclaimer:

Wait before you start to implement it since I am not 100% sure. There might be a better way to do it.

Regards,

Alfredo
