java 监听文件内容_java 监听文件内容变化
有时候，我们需要确定某些文件是否有变化而做出一些对应的动作，例如，曾经开发的一款服务器中，由于模块比较多，在运行期间有时候需要单独的输出某个模块日志，但又不可能总是开着日志。
log4j中已经实现了可以动态监控日志级别日志监视器
PropertyConfigurator.configureAndWatch(properties);
上面的properties是日志配置文件，例如常用的 log4j.properties ,log4j.xml。
但是这是系统级别的，然后看了一下源代码，

} catch (SecurityException e) {
LogLog.warn("Was not allowed to read check file existance, file:["
+ filename + "].");
interrupted = true; // there is no point in continuing
return;
}
if (fileExists) {
long l = file.lastModified(); // this can also throw a
// SecurityException
if (l > lastModif) { // however, if we reached this point this
lastModif = l; // is very unlikely.
doOnChange();
warnedAlready = false;
}
} else {
if (!warnedAlready) {
LogLog.debug("[" + filename + "] does not exist.");
warnedAlready = true;
}
}
}
public void run() {
while (!interrupted) {
try {
Thread.sleep(delay);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
// no interruption expected
}
checkAndConfigure();
}
}
}
这是一个抽象类，子类只要实现最关心的文件内容有变化的回调方法 doOnChange 就OK。
因此，在一个工程中，如果想实现模块级别的日志控制，则我们可以附件一个配置文件，在这个配置文件中指定模块的日志级别， 在log4j中指定总的级别，然后在应用中实现文件内容监控，则可以做到动态切换，实现细粒度的控制。
