Restart myself - can I reinitialize everything from scratch?

Question

I have something like this:

public static final String path;
static {
    path = loadProperties(\"config.conf\").getProperty(\"path\");
}

public static void mai         


        

Answer 1

how about this structure

public static void main(String... args) {

    boolean restart = true;
    while (restart )
    {
        retart = runApplication();
    }

}

If you ever detect the need to restart you application, have runApplication return true. If it is time to exit return false;
