Java Programming

Hi,

I have to accomplish this.

A folder c:\myfolder can literally contain anything files.. sub directories, fiels in sub directories.

I have a thread monitoring c:\myfolder, basically people can dump files in any order into that directory and I have to trigger something when there is no activity on c:\myfolder for 10 secs.

I tried lastModified() with File("c:\myfolder") but that seems to be working only if there is some change on root level of c:\myfolder, for eg if I have a sub folder c:\myfolder\subfolder and I copy some file into c:\myfolder\subfolder, then the lastModified() doesnt seem to be updatiing on the mail folder "c:\myfolder"

Is there a way I can handle this situation?

Any suggession is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
