org.quartz.jobs.FileScanJob

All Implemented Interfaces:

Job

@DisallowConcurrentExecution
@PersistJobDataAfterExecution
public class FileScanJob
extends Object

MINIMUM_UPDATE_AGE

public static final String MINIMUM_UPDATE_AGE

JobDataMap key with which to specify a long value that represents the minimum number of milliseconds that must have past since the file's last modified time in order to consider the file new/altered. This is necessary because another process may still be in the middle of writing to the file when the scan occurs, and the file may therefore not yet be ready for processing.

If this parameter is not specified, a default value of 5000 (five seconds) will be used.
