Using RMI to detect an arival of a file.

I would like to write an RMI application that will have the capability to detect an arival of a file in a designating incomming directory, lets call this /data/incomming. I perceive this RMI app to be a module of a larger program, lets say a flat file database.

Wnen the file arrives in /data/incomming, the file is detected and a triggering mechanism is fired off and a process is executed against the arriving file. For the sake of ease, this process could be to update a flat file database with the arriving flat file data.

For all I know this could be a big waist of time, and I could simply write a Java program module that wakes up every 2 minutes, and checks the /data/incomming directory for a specified file.

Just currious to see if anyone has worked with RMI like this.

Thanks

RMI doesn't add much value to this. For one thing it assumes at least two JVMs and I don't know why you would need them otherwise. Observer/Observable would do the job just as well, or some kind of listener, in the same JVM.

I did not think that it would in this respect. I am going to take a look at the Observe/Observable methodology.Thanks Again!
