| Field Summary | |
| final public static int | DEFAULT_DELAY
The default delay value (5 seconds) for checking for modifications. |
| Method Summary | |
| public long | getDelay()
Get the delay between file checks. | | public File | getFile()
Get the file which is being monitored. | | public void | run()
The thread's run method. | | public void | setDelay(long delay)
Set the delay between checks. | | public void | startMonitor()
Start the monitoring thread. | | public void | stopMonitor()
Stop the monitoring thread. |
| DEFAULT_DELAY | | final public static int DEFAULT_DELAY(Code) | | The default delay value (5 seconds) for checking for modifications.
|
| FileMonitor | | public FileMonitor(File file, Reloadable target)(Code) | | Construct a new FileMonitor for the given file and target. The default
delay time will be used.
Parameters:
file - The file to monitor
Parameters:
target - The target |
| FileMonitor | | public FileMonitor(File file, long delay, Reloadable target)(Code) | | Construct a new FileMonitor for the given file and target. The given
delay time will be used.
Parameters:
file - The file to monitor
Parameters:
delay - The delay time
Parameters:
target - The target |
| getDelay | | public long getDelay()(Code) | | Get the delay between file checks.
The delay in milliseconds |
| getFile | | public File getFile()(Code) | | Get the file which is being monitored.
The monitored file |
| run | | public void run()(Code) | | The thread's run method. This method should not be executed directly
nor should a thread be manually created, rather the startMonitor()
and stopMonitor() methods should be used to start and stop
the monitor.
|
| setDelay | | public void setDelay(long delay)(Code) | | Set the delay between checks. If the thread is already sleeping then
this delay will take effect during the next sleep.
Parameters:
delay - The delay in milliseconds |
| startMonitor | | public void startMonitor()(Code) | | Start the monitoring thread. If the thread is already running then
this method will not attempt to start a new thread.
|
| stopMonitor | | public void stopMonitor()(Code) | | Stop the monitoring thread. If the monitoring thread is not running
then this method will do nothing.
