Trying to use FileListener in an initialization servlet without success.
File configurationFile = new File(configurationFileUrl.getFile()); FileSystemManager fsMgr = VFS.getManager(); FileObject fileObject = fsMgr.toFileObject(configurationFile); FileSystem fileSystem = fileObject.getFileSystem(); FileListener fileListener = new fListener(); fileSystem.addListener(fileObject, fileListener); log.info("Add listener for file: "+fileObject.getName()); log.info("\ttype: "+fileObject.getType()); log.info("\texists:"+fileObject.exists()); log.info("\tLastModTimeAccuracy:"+fileSystem.getLastModTimeAccuracy()); // testing listener only configurationFile.delete(); fListener is pretty dumb: public class fListener implements FileListener { private Log flLog = null; fListener() { flLog = LogFactory.getLog(this.getClass()); flLog.info("created: "+this.getClass()); } public void fileChanged(FileChangeEvent fcEvt) throws Exception { flLog.info("fileChanged: "+fcEvt.getFile().getName()); initParameters(); } public void fileDeleted(FileChangeEvent fcEvt) throws Exception { flLog.info("fileDeleted: "+fcEvt.getFile().getName()); // ignore } public void fileCreated(FileChangeEvent fcEvt) throws Exception { flLog.info("fileCreated: "+fcEvt.getFile().getName()); initParameters(); } } The output from "fileObject.exists())" shows the file exists. I'm getting the message out of fListener constructor but not from "fileDeleted()" when "configurationFile.delete()" is invoked. Also at various points a tutorial and samples for VFS have been discussed; haven't been able to find 'em. =Paul=
