JSPs and Property Files

We have a property file (actually a couple) that is being loaded in a
jsp. We have a problem where the property file is changed, but the
change is not reflected in the jsp. So...is there a way to force the
jsp to be recompiled? I suppose I could delete the .java and .class
associated with the jsp programatically when the property file changes
to force the jsp to be recreated, but that seems to be a bit kludgy.
Or, is there a way for the jsp to dynamically read the property file 
when the page is accessed?
 
 TIA...
