Issue in reading multiple time properties file

Question

Use Case:
I have a page in which i have to show some Outage Messages on page. So I have configured outage message in properties files. This message should me rendered each time when it finds that properties file in class path or it finds the values w.r.t their keys.
So what I decide that I shall write java method and call this method on Loading the page but here what happen is that whenever that page is load each time that reader file will call , that will create memory leak .
So, anyone help me on this. What will be the best approach for that reading multiple times properties file?
I will be grateful for any help you can provide
Thanks

Hi,
have a bean at applicationScope, somewhat like this
import java.util.HashMap;
public class ApplnProperties {
    private HashMap _propMap;
    public HashMap getPropMap() {
        if(_propMap == null){
            //read the properties file and populate _propMap
        return _propMap;
}here we put condition _propMap == null so it would be called only once during application lifecycle.
and on page you can refer the prop map like following
#{beanName.propMap['KEY1']}Regards,
