我可以使用 WatchService（而不是整個目錄）監視單個文件的更改嗎？

Question

當我嘗試注冊文件而不是目錄時，會拋出java.nio.file.NotDirectoryException 。 我可以監聽單個文件更改，而不是整個目錄嗎？

Answer 1

只需過濾目錄中所需文件的事件：

final Path path = FileSystems.getDefault().getPath(System.getProperty("user.home"), "Desktop");
System.out.println(path);
try (final WatchService watchService = FileSystems.getDefault().newWatchService()) {
    final WatchKey watchKey = path.register(watchService, StandardWatchEventKinds.ENTRY_MODIFY);
    while (true) {
        final WatchKey wk = watchService.take();
        for (WatchEvent<?> event : wk.pollEvents()) {
            //we only register "ENTRY_MODIFY" so the context is always a Path.
            final Path changed = (Path) event.context();
            System.out.println(changed);
            if (changed.endsWith("myFile.txt")) {
                System.out.println("My file has changed");
            }
        }
        // reset the key
        boolean valid = wk.reset();
        if (!valid) {
            System.out.println("Key has been unregisterede");
        }
    }
}

在這里，我們檢查更改的文件是否為“myFile.txt”，如果是，則執行任何操作。

其他答案是正確的，您必須查看目錄並過濾特定文件。 但是，您可能希望在后台運行一個線程。 接受的答案可以無限期地阻止watchService.take(); 並且不會關閉 WatchService。 適用於單獨線程的解決方案可能如下所示：

public class FileWatcher extends Thread {
    private final File file;
    private AtomicBoolean stop = new AtomicBoolean(false);

    public FileWatcher(File file) {
        this.file = file;
    }

    public boolean isStopped() { return stop.get(); }
    public void stopThread() { stop.set(true); }

    public void doOnChange() {
        // Do whatever action you want here
    }

    @Override
    public void run() {
        try (WatchService watcher = FileSystems.getDefault().newWatchService()) {
            Path path = file.toPath().getParent();
            path.register(watcher, StandardWatchEventKinds.ENTRY_MODIFY);
            while (!isStopped()) {
                WatchKey key;
                try { key = watcher.poll(25, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS); }
                catch (InterruptedException e) { return; }
                if (key == null) { Thread.yield(); continue; }

                for (WatchEvent<?> event : key.pollEvents()) {
                    WatchEvent.Kind<?> kind = event.kind();

                    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
                    WatchEvent<Path> ev = (WatchEvent<Path>) event;
                    Path filename = ev.context();

                    if (kind == StandardWatchEventKinds.OVERFLOW) {
                        Thread.yield();
                        continue;
                    } else if (kind == java.nio.file.StandardWatchEventKinds.ENTRY_MODIFY
                            && filename.toString().equals(file.getName())) {
                        doOnChange();
                    }
                    boolean valid = key.reset();
                    if (!valid) { break; }
                }
                Thread.yield();
            }
        } catch (Throwable e) {
            // Log or rethrow the error
        }
    }
}

我嘗試從接受的答案和這篇文章開始工作。 您應該能夠將此線程與new FileWatcher(new File("/home/me/myfile")).start()一起使用，並通過在線程上調用stopThread()來停止它。

Answer 3

不，不可能注冊文件，監視服務不能以這種方式工作。 但是注冊一個目錄實際上是觀察子目錄（文件和子目錄）的變化，而不是目錄本身的變化。

如果要監視文件，則向監視服務注冊包含目錄。 Path.register() 文檔說：

WatchKey java.nio.file.Path.register(WatchService watcher, Kind[] events, Modifier... modifiers) 拋出 IOException

將此路徑中的文件注冊到監視服務。

在此版本中，此路徑定位一個存在的目錄。 該目錄已注冊到監視服務，以便可以監視目錄中的條目

然后您需要處理條目上的事件，並通過檢查事件的上下文值來檢測與您感興趣的文件相關的事件。 上下文值表示條目的名稱（實際上是條目相對於其父路徑的路徑，也就是子名稱）。 你有一個例子在這里。

Answer 4

Apache 提供了一個帶有doOnChange方法的FileWatchDog類。

private class SomeWatchFile extends FileWatchdog {

    protected SomeWatchFile(String filename) {
        super(filename);
    }

    @Override
    protected void doOnChange() {
        fileChanged= true;
    }

}

你可以在任何地方開始這個線程：

SomeWatchFile someWatchFile = new SomeWatchFile (path);
someWatchFile.start();

FileWatchDog 類輪詢文件的lastModified()時間戳。 Java NIO 的原生 WatchService 更高效，因為通知是即時的。

Answer 5

您不能直接觀看單個文件，但可以過濾掉不需要的文件。

這是我的FileWatcher類實現：

import java.io.File;
import java.nio.file.*;
import java.nio.file.WatchEvent.Kind;

import static java.nio.file.StandardWatchEventKinds.*;

public abstract class FileWatcher
{
    private Path folderPath;
    private String watchFile;

    public FileWatcher(String watchFile)
    {
        Path filePath = Paths.get(watchFile);

        boolean isRegularFile = Files.isRegularFile(filePath);

        if (!isRegularFile)
        {
            // Do not allow this to be a folder since we want to watch files
            throw new IllegalArgumentException(watchFile + " is not a regular file");
        }

        // This is always a folder
        folderPath = filePath.getParent();

        // Keep this relative to the watched folder
        this.watchFile = watchFile.replace(folderPath.toString() + File.separator, "");
    }

    public void watchFile() throws Exception
    {
        // We obtain the file system of the Path
        FileSystem fileSystem = folderPath.getFileSystem();

        // We create the new WatchService using the try-with-resources block
        try (WatchService service = fileSystem.newWatchService())
        {
            // We watch for modification events
            folderPath.register(service, ENTRY_MODIFY);

            // Start the infinite polling loop
            while (true)
            {
                // Wait for the next event
                WatchKey watchKey = service.take();

                for (WatchEvent<?> watchEvent : watchKey.pollEvents())
                {
                    // Get the type of the event
                    Kind<?> kind = watchEvent.kind();

                    if (kind == ENTRY_MODIFY)
                    {
                        Path watchEventPath = (Path) watchEvent.context();

                        // Call this if the right file is involved
                        if (watchEventPath.toString().equals(watchFile))
                        {
                            onModified();
                        }
                    }
                }

                if (!watchKey.reset())
                {
                    // Exit if no longer valid
                    break;
                }
            }
        }
    }

    public abstract void onModified();
}

要使用它，您只需像這樣擴展和實現onModified()方法：

import java.io.File;

public class MyFileWatcher extends FileWatcher
{
    public MyFileWatcher(String watchFile)
    {
        super(watchFile);
    }

    @Override
    public void onModified()
    {
        System.out.println("Modified!");
    }
}

最后，開始看文件：

String watchFile = System.getProperty("user.home") + File.separator + "Desktop" + File.separator + "Test.txt";
FileWatcher fileWatcher = new MyFileWatcher(watchFile);
fileWatcher.watchFile();

不確定其他人，但我抱怨使用基本 WatchService API 監視單個文件以進行更改所需的代碼量。 它必須更簡單！

以下是使用第三方庫的幾個替代方案：

• 使用 Apache Commons 配置
• 使用 Spring Framework 中的 spring-loaded 包（沒有找到這個副手的示例實現，但它看起來很容易使用）

Answer 7

我圍繞 Java 1.7 的WatchService創建了一個包裝器，它允許注冊一個目錄和任意數量的glob模式。 此類將負責過濾並僅發出您感興趣的事件。

try {
    DirectoryWatchService watchService = new SimpleDirectoryWatchService(); // May throw
    watchService.register( // May throw
            new DirectoryWatchService.OnFileChangeListener() {
                @Override
                public void onFileCreate(String filePath) {
                    // File created
                }

                @Override
                public void onFileModify(String filePath) {
                    // File modified
                }

                @Override
                public void onFileDelete(String filePath) {
                    // File deleted
                }
            },
            <directory>, // Directory to watch
            <file-glob-pattern-1>, // E.g. "*.log"
            <file-glob-pattern-2>, // E.g. "input-?.txt"
            <file-glob-pattern-3>, // E.g. "config.ini"
            ... // As many patterns as you like
    );

    watchService.start(); // The actual watcher runs on a new thread
} catch (IOException e) {
    LOGGER.error("Unable to register file change listener for " + fileName);
}

我稍微擴展了 BullyWiiPlaza 的解決方案，以便與javafx.concurrent集成，例如javafx.concurrent.Task和javafx.concurrent.Service 。 我還增加了跟蹤多個文件的可能性。 任務：

import javafx.concurrent.Task;
import lombok.extern.slf4j.Slf4j;

import java.io.File;
import java.nio.file.*;
import java.util.*;

import static java.nio.file.StandardWatchEventKinds.ENTRY_MODIFY;

@Slf4j
public abstract class FileWatcherTask extends Task<Void> {

    static class Entry {
        private final Path folderPath;
        private final String watchFile;

        Entry(Path folderPath, String watchFile) {
            this.folderPath = folderPath;
            this.watchFile = watchFile;
        }

        @Override
        public boolean equals(Object o) {
            if (this == o) return true;
            if (o == null || getClass() != o.getClass()) return false;
            Entry entry = (Entry) o;
            return Objects.equals(folderPath, entry.folderPath) && Objects.equals(watchFile, entry.watchFile);
        }

        @Override
        public int hashCode() {
            return Objects.hash(folderPath, watchFile);
        }
    }

    private final List<Entry> entryList;

    private final Map<WatchKey, Entry> watchKeyEntryMap;

    public FileWatcherTask(Iterable<String> watchFiles) {
        this.entryList = new ArrayList<>();
        this.watchKeyEntryMap = new LinkedHashMap<>();
        for (String watchFile : watchFiles) {
            Path filePath = Paths.get(watchFile);
            boolean isRegularFile = Files.isRegularFile(filePath);
            if (!isRegularFile) {
                // Do not allow this to be a folder since we want to watch files
                throw new IllegalArgumentException(watchFile + " is not a regular file");
            }
            // This is always a folder
            Path folderPath = filePath.getParent();
            // Keep this relative to the watched folder
            watchFile = watchFile.replace(folderPath.toString() + File.separator, "");
            Entry entry = new Entry(folderPath, watchFile);
            entryList.add(entry);
            log.debug("Watcher initialized for {} entries. ({})", entryList.size(), entryList.stream().map(e -> e.watchFile + "-" + e.folderPath).findFirst().orElse("<>"));
        }
    }

    public FileWatcherTask(String... watchFiles) {
        this(Arrays.asList(watchFiles));
    }

    public void watchFile() throws Exception {
        // We obtain the file system of the Path
        // FileSystem fileSystem = folderPath.getFileSystem();
        // TODO: use the actual file system instead of default
        FileSystem fileSystem = FileSystems.getDefault();

        // We create the new WatchService using the try-with-resources block
        try (WatchService service = fileSystem.newWatchService()) {
            log.debug("Watching filesystem {}", fileSystem);
            for (Entry e : entryList) {
                // We watch for modification events
                WatchKey key = e.folderPath.register(service, ENTRY_MODIFY);
                watchKeyEntryMap.put(key, e);
            }

            // Start the infinite polling loop
            while (true) {
                // Wait for the next event
                WatchKey watchKey = service.take();
                for (Entry e : entryList) {
                    // Call this if the right file is involved
                    var hans = watchKeyEntryMap.get(watchKey);
                    if (hans != null) {
                        for (WatchEvent<?> watchEvent : watchKey.pollEvents()) {
                            // Get the type of the event
                            WatchEvent.Kind<?> kind = watchEvent.kind();

                            if (kind == ENTRY_MODIFY) {
                                Path watchEventPath = (Path) watchEvent.context();
                                onModified(e.watchFile);
                            }
                            if (!watchKey.reset()) {
                                // Exit if no longer valid
                                log.debug("Watch key {} was reset", watchKey);
                                break;
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }

    @Override
    protected Void call() throws Exception {
        watchFile();
        return null;
    }

    public abstract void onModified(String watchFile);
}

服務：

public abstract class FileWatcherService extends Service<Void> {
    
    private final Iterable<String> files;

    public FileWatcherService(Iterable<String> files) {
        this.files = files;
    }

    @Override
    protected Task<Void> createTask() {
        return new FileWatcherTask(files) {
            @Override
            public void onModified(String watchFile) {
                FileWatcherService.this.onModified(watchFile);
            }
        };
    }
    
    abstract void onModified(String watchFile);
}
