问题
The javadoc for StandardWatchEventKinds.ENTRY_MODIFY says:
Directory entry modified. When a directory is registered for this event then the WatchKey is queued when it is observed that an entry in the directory has been modified. The event count for this event is 1 or greater.
When you edit the content of a file through an editor, it'll modify both date (or other metadata) and content. You therefore get two ENTRY_MODIFY events, but each will have a count of 1 (at least that's what I'm seeing).
I'm trying to monitor a configuration file (servers.cfg previously registered with the WatchService) that is manually updated (ie. through command line vi) with the following code:
while(true) {
watchKey = watchService.take(); // blocks
for (WatchEvent<?> event : watchKey.pollEvents()) {
WatchEvent<Path> watchEvent = (WatchEvent<Path>) event;
WatchEvent.Kind<Path> kind = watchEvent.kind();
System.out.println(watchEvent.context() + ", count: "+ watchEvent.count() + ", event: "+ watchEvent.kind());
// prints (loop on the while twice)
// servers.cfg, count: 1, event: ENTRY_MODIFY
// servers.cfg, count: 1, event: ENTRY_MODIFY
switch(kind.name()) {
case "ENTRY_MODIFY":
handleModify(watchEvent.context()); // reload configuration class
break;
case "ENTRY_DELETE":
handleDelete(watchEvent.context()); // do something else
break;
}
}
watchKey.reset();
}
Since you get two ENTRY_MODIFY events, the above would reload the configuration twice when only once is needed. Is there any way to ignore all but one of these, assuming there could be more than one such event?
If the WatchService API has such a utility so much the better. (I kind of don't want to check times between each event. All the handler methods in my code are synchronous.
The same thing occurs if you create (copy/paste) a file from one directory to the watched directory. How can you combine both of those into one event?
回答1:
I had a similar issue - I am using the WatchService API to keep directories in sync, but observed that in many cases, updates were being performed twice. I seem to have resolved the issue by checking the timestamp on the files - this seems to screen out the second copy operation. (At least in windows 7 - I can't be sure if it will work correctly in other operation systems)
Maybe you could use something similar? Store the timestamp from the file and reload only when the timestamp is updated?
回答2:
WatcherServices reports events twice because the underlying file is updated twice. Once for the content and once for the file modified time. These events happen within a short time span. To solve this, sleep between the poll() or take() calls and the key.pollEvents() call. For example:
@Override
@SuppressWarnings( "SleepWhileInLoop" )
public void run() {
setListening( true );
while( isListening() ) {
try {
final WatchKey key = getWatchService().take();
final Path path = get( key );
// Prevent receiving two separate ENTRY_MODIFY events: file modified
// and timestamp updated. Instead, receive one ENTRY_MODIFY event
// with two counts.
Thread.sleep( 50 );
for( final WatchEvent<?> event : key.pollEvents() ) {
final Path changed = path.resolve( (Path)event.context() );
if( event.kind() == ENTRY_MODIFY && isListening( changed ) ) {
System.out.println( "Changed: " + changed );
}
}
if( !key.reset() ) {
ignore( path );
}
} catch( IOException | InterruptedException ex ) {
// Stop eavesdropping.
setListening( false );
}
}
}
Calling sleep() helps eliminate the double calls. The delay might have to be as high as three seconds.
回答3:
One of my goto solutions for problems like this is to simply queue up the unique event resources and delay processing for an acceptable amount of time. In this case I maintain a Set<String> that contains every file name derived from each event that arrives. Using a Set<> ensures that duplicates don't get added and, therefore, will only be processed once (per delay period).
Each time an interesting event arrives I add the file name to the Set<> and restart my delay timer. When things settle down and the delay period elapses, I proceed to processing the files.
The addFileToProcess() and processFiles() methods are 'synchronized' to ensure that no ConcurrentModificationExceptions are thrown.

Are you sure there is problem with jdk7? It gives correct result for me (jdk7u15, windows)
Code
import java.io.IOException;
import java.nio.file.*;
public class WatchTest {
public void watchMyFiles() throws IOException, InterruptedException {
Path path = Paths.get("c:/temp");
WatchService watchService = path.getFileSystem().newWatchService();
path.register(watchService, StandardWatchEventKinds.ENTRY_MODIFY);
while (true) {
WatchKey watchKey = watchService.take(); // blocks
for (WatchEvent<?> event : watchKey.pollEvents()) {
WatchEvent<Path> watchEvent = (WatchEvent<Path>) event;
WatchEvent.Kind<Path> kind = watchEvent.kind();
System.out.println(watchEvent.context() + ", count: " +
watchEvent.count() + ", event: " + watchEvent.kind());
// prints (loop on the while twice)
// servers.cfg, count: 1, event: ENTRY_MODIFY
// servers.cfg, count: 1, event: ENTRY_MODIFY
switch (kind.name()) {
case "ENTRY_MODIFY":
handleModify(watchEvent.context()); // reload configuration class
break;
case "ENTRY_DELETE":
handleDelete(watchEvent.context()); // do something else
break;
default:
System.out.println("Event not expected " + event.kind().name());

watchKey.reset();

System.out.println("handleModify " + context.getFileName());
}
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException, InterruptedException {
new WatchTest().watchMyFiles();
}
}
Output is like below- when file is copied over or edited using notepad.
config.xml, count: 1, event: ENTRY_MODIFY
handleModify config.xml
Vi uses many additional files, and seems to update file attribute multiple times. notepad++ does exactly two times.

If you use RxJava you can use the operator throttleLast. In the example below only the last event in 1000 milliseconds is emitted for each file in the watched directory.

subscriber.onError(e);
return;
}
while (!subscriber.isDisposed()) {

I solved this problem by defining a global boolean variable named "modifySolver" which be false by default. You can handle this problem as I show bellow:
else if (eventKind.equals (ENTRY_MODIFY))
{
if (event.count() == 2)
{
getListener(getDirPath(key)).onChange (FileChangeType.MODIFY, file.toString ());
}
/*capture first modify event*/
else if ((event.count() == 1) && (!modifySolver))
{
getListener(getDirPath(key)).onChange (FileChangeType.MODIFY, file.toString ());
modifySolver = true;
}
/*discard the second modify event*/
else if ((event.count() == 1) && (modifySolver))
{
modifySolver = false;
}
}

I compiled Oracle's WatchDir.java and @nilesh's suggestion into an Observable class that will notify it's observers once when the watched file is changed.
I tried to make it as readable and short as possible, but still landed with more than 100 lines. Improvements welcome, of course.
Usage:
FileChangeNotifier fileReloader = new FileChangeNotifier(File file);
fileReloader.addObserver((Observable obj, Object arg) -> {
System.out.println("File changed for the " + arg + " time.");
});
See my solution on GitHub: FileChangeNotifier.java.

WatchEvent<Path> watchEvent = (WatchEvent<Path>) event;

// prints (loop on the while twice)
// servers.cfg, count: 1, event: ENTRY_MODIFY
// servers.cfg, count: 1, event: ENTRY_MODIFY
switch(kind.name()) {
case "ENTRY_MODIFY":
if(!modifyEventFired.get()){

I had similar problem. I know this is late but it might help someone.
I just needed to eliminate duplicate ENTRY_MODIFY.
Whenever ENTRY_MODIFY is triggered, count() returns either 2 or 1. If it is 1, then there will be another event with count() 1.
So just put a global counter which keeps the count of return values and carry out the operations only when the counter becomes 2. Something like this can do:
WatchEvent event;
int count = 0;
if(event.count() == 2)
count = 2;
if(event.count() == 1)
count++;
if(count == 2){
//your operations here
count = 0;
}

If you are trying the same in Scala using better-files-akka library, I have comeup with this work around based on the solution proposed in the accepted answer.
https://github.com/pathikrit/better-files/issues/313
trait ConfWatcher {
implicit def actorSystem: ActorSystem
private val confPath = "/home/codingkapoor/application.conf"
private val appConfFile = File(confPath)
private var appConfLastModified = appConfFile.lastModifiedTime
val watcher: ActorRef = appConfFile.newWatcher(recursive = false)
watcher ! on(EventType.ENTRY_MODIFY) { file =>
if (appConfLastModified.compareTo(file.lastModifiedTime) < 0) {
// TODO
appConfLastModified = file.lastModifiedTime
}
}
}
