I look at new functionnality for WatcherService.So I created a directory and I watch for events like files created or deleted or modify.I follow the example from http://blogs.oracle.com/thejavatutorials/entry/watching_a_directory_for_changes
I was surprised for an unexpected behaviour with WatcherService :
I make the following :
mkdir ~/tmp
touch ~/tmp/toto
Then I watched for events in ~/tmp/toto and it works fine.
Then I do the following :
mv ~/tmp ~/tmp.old
touch ~/tmp.old/titi
I look at events and there is events ! However I move the directory so the program should be throw an exception because of reset methods() but no !
So I post a message (It's the first time I post a message on the Oracle's web site !!!! ) and I wait for an answer ...
I will see if I post a good note ....
Here is the example source code form Oracle'sblog :
for (;;) { //wait for key to be signaled WatchKey key; try { key = watcher.take(); } catch (InterruptedException x) { return; } for (WatchEvent event: key.pollEvents()) { WatchEvent.Kind kind = event.kind(); //This key is registered only for ENTRY_CREATE events, //but an OVERFLOW event can occur regardless if events are //lost or discarded. if (kind == OVERFLOW) { continue; } //The filename is the context of the event. WatchEventev = (WatchEvent //Verify that the new file is a text file. try { //Resolve the filename against the directory. //If the filename is "test" and the directory is "foo", //the resolved name is "test/foo". Path child = dir.resolve(filename); if (!Files.probeContentType(child).equals("text/plain")) { System.err.format("New file '%s' is not a plain text file.%n", filename); continue; } } catch (IOException x) { System.err.println(x); continue; } //Email the file to the specified email alias. System.out.format("Emailing file %s%n", filename); //Details left to reader.... } //Reset the key -- this step is critical if you want to receive //further watch events. If the key is no longer valid, the directory //is inaccessible so exit the loop. boolean valid = key.reset(); if (!valid) { break; } })event; Path filename = ev.context();
