[Java-gnome-developer] Problem getting change notifications from GConf

[Pierre-Charles D. <pc...@gm...>]

Hi all,

I'm trying to use the gconf bindings (libgconf-java-2.12.5) from Java.
It works well when requesting values, but I can't seem to get
notifications of changes. I'm new both to java-gnome and gconf itself,
so I may be missing something obvious.

Below is the code I am running. While it is waiting on the last line,
I run gconf-editor and manually change the (boolean) value of the key
"/apps/baobab/properties/enable_home_monitor"; I was expecting my
listener to be called, but it is not. Am I doing something wrong /
misunderstanding gconf, or is this feature not supported yet?

Thanks in advance.

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        ConfClient cc = ConfClient.getInstance();
        cc.addDirectory("/apps/baobab/properties",
ConfClientPreloadType.RECURSIVE);
        System.out.println(cc.get("/apps/baobab/properties/enable_home_monitor"));
        cc.addListener(new ConfClientListener() {
            public void clientNotify(ConfEntry entry) {
                System.out.println(entry.getKey() + " = " + entry.getValue());
            }
        }, "/apps/baobab/properties");
        new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in)).readLine();
    }
