public class DefaultFileMonitor extends java.lang.Object implements java.lang.Runnable, FileMonitor
A pollingFileMonitor
implementation.The DefaultFileMonitor is a Thread based polling file system monitor with a 1 second delay.
Design:
There is a Map of monitors known as FileMonitorAgents. With the thread running, each FileMonitorAgent object is asked to "check" on the file it is responsible for. To do this check, the cache is cleared.- If the file existed before the refresh and it no longer exists, a delete event is fired.
- If the file existed before the refresh and it still exists, check the last modified timestamp to see if that has changed.
- If it has, fire a change event.
New files are detected during each "check" as each file does a check for new children. If new children are found, create events are fired recursively if recursive descent is enabled.
For performance reasons, added a delay that increases as the number of files monitored increases. The default is a delay of 1 second for every 1000 files processed.
Example usage:
FileSystemManager fsManager = VFS.getManager(); FileObject listendir = fsManager.resolveFile("/home/username/monitored/"); DefaultFileMonitor fm = new DefaultFileMonitor(new CustomFileListener()); fm.setRecursive(true); fm.addFile(listendir); fm.start();
(where CustomFileListener is a class that implements the FileListener interface.)
