Java Watch Service : Not Working for Remote Files mounted in the local Server

Question

I have Java program monitoring a remote folder mounted in my local server. But it is not detecting any changes / modification whenever something changed in the remote folder

Answer 1

I guess, Oracle's watch service doesn't detect remote events - that service is for local directories.

You have to use - org.apache.commons.io.monitor.FileAlterationMonitor class of API -

        commons-io
        commons-io
        2.6

You should google for code samples using that class.
