I have 2 enhancement requests for DirTailingAdaptor.
1. Instead of using WildcardFileFilter can we use RegexFileFilter? The WildcardFileFilter is NOT that restrictive and might monitor file that are NOT required. By having RegexFileFilter we can restrict the file selection and will give user very well control of files that need to be monitored. 2. If FileTailingAdaptor is passed as the argument to the DirTailingAdaptor, then DirTailingAdaptor starts FileTailingAdaptor for all files present in the directory being monitored. This might not work for users who want to monitor only new files or files that were created recently. I have created an adaptor that extends DirTailingAdaptor, it reads global configuration entry and starts FileTailingAdaptor only for those files that have last modified time stamp greater than the global configuration entry and for new files. Let me know what you think about these 2 requests. Thanks, Deepak Deshpande.
