I am trying to use Java Watchservice (NIO) to watch mutiple directories , I can see the create event in all directories but I cant trace back to directory where the file was created.
For eg , whenever a new file is created I can only see a filename (without path) , how to know whether the create event triggered on faxfolder or faxfolder2
System.out.println("START MONITORING **************");
Path faxFolder = Paths.get("E:\\activiti\\monitor\\m1");
Path faxFolder2 = Paths.get("E:\\activiti\\monitor\\m2");
WatchService watchService = FileSystems.getDefault().newWatchService();
faxFolder.register(watchService, StandardWatchEventKinds.ENTRY_CREATE);
faxFolder2.register(watchService, StandardWatchEventKinds.ENTRY_CREATE);
boolean valid = true;
WatchKey watchKey = watchService.take();
for (WatchEvent<?> event : watchKey.pollEvents()) {
WatchEvent.Kind kind = event.kind();
if (StandardWatchEventKinds.ENTRY_CREATE.equals(event.kind())) {
String fileName = event.context().toString();
System.out.println(fileName);
}
}
When you register the watchService, you are given a WatchKey
for that directory. You should remember which key goes with which directory.
System.out.println("START MONITORING **************");
Path faxFolder = Paths.get("E:\\activiti\\monitor\\m1");
Path faxFolder2 = Paths.get("E:\\activiti\\monitor\\m2");
WatchService watchService = FileSystems.getDefault().newWatchService();
Map<WatchKey,Path> keyMap = new HashMap<>();
WatchKey watchKey1 = faxFolder.register(watchService, StandardWatchEventKinds.ENTRY_CREATE);
keyMap.put(watchKey1, faxFolder);
WatchKey watchKey2 = faxFolder2.register(watchService, StandardWatchEventKinds.ENTRY_CREATE);
keyMap.put(watchKey2, faxFolder2);
while (!Thread.currentThread().isInterrupted()) {
WatchKey watchKey = watchService.take();
Path dir = keyMap.get(watchKey);
for (WatchEvent<?> event : watchKey.pollEvents()) {
WatchEvent.Kind kind = event.kind();
if (StandardWatchEventKinds.ENTRY_CREATE.equals(event.kind())) {
Path relativePath = (Path) event.context();
String fileName = dir.resolve(relativePath).toString();
System.out.println(fileName);
}
}
}
Your monitoring loop should wait for events ( WatchService.take()
) and then resolve the events ( watchKey.pollEvents()
). All of which will be applicable to the same WatchKey
. Then take the next key, which may be for another directory.
Path newFile = ev.context();
Path absolutePath = newFile.toAbsolutePath();
