Richard Vigniel commented on FELIX-4906:
----------------------------------------
Hi
symlinks do not fully work yet on 3.5.2.
if a new link on a bundle appears, it's ok.
but if the linked file is updated ( config file modified for example ), the
change is not detected.
everything was ok without NIO.
in the code, there is some NOFOLLOW_LINKS options that may prevents change
detection on symlinked files.
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/felix/trunk/fileinstall/src/main/java/org/apache/felix/fileinstall/internal/Watcher.java
{code}
if (kind == ENTRY_CREATE) {
if (Files.isDirectory(child, NOFOLLOW_LINKS)) {
// if directory is created, and watching
recursively, then
// register it and its sub-directories
Files.walkFileTree(child, new
FilteringFileVisitor());
} else if (Files.isRegularFile(child, NOFOLLOW_LINKS)) {
scan(child);
}
} else if (kind == ENTRY_MODIFY) {
if (Files.isRegularFile(child, NOFOLLOW_LINKS)) {
scan(child);
}
} else if (kind == ENTRY_DELETE) {
unscan(child);
}

> Changes in symlinked bundles not detected with NIO2 WatcherScanner

> Key: FELIX-4906
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-4906
> Project: Felix
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: File Install
> Affects Versions: fileinstall-3.4.0, fileinstall-3.4.2, fileinstall-3.5.0
> Reporter: Tim Hull
> Assignee: Guillaume Nodet
> Fix For: fileinstall-3.5.2
>
>
> Since the new NIO2 WatcherScanner was introduced as part of FileInstall
> 3.4.0, I've noticed that FileInstall no longer detects changes to files
> symbolically linked to from the deploy directory. Also, there may be
> additional issues with network-mounted directories as well. These can be
> worked around by setting the felix.fileinstall.disableNio2 option to true,
> though this isn't ideal.
