- TransOS makes use of WatchService which is feature of Java 7.
- WatchService uses native file event notification facility where available and falls back to primitive mechanism, such as polling, when a native facility is not available.
- Since it is dependent of native event notification we get different event notification on different OS.
- For Example when a file is edited:
- We get ENTRY_MODIFY on Windows 7
- On Ubuntu 12.10 we get series of ENTRY_CREATED and ENTRY_DELETE notification on host system temporary files.
- This can result in unnecessary file writes which is not serious issue since these writes are idempotent actions.
- Thus system's behavior is platform dependent and not quite unpredictable.
