How to get filenames from shared folder, PRFile vs FileListener ?
I have requirement to get list of file names from a shared folder. I was able to get filenames within serviceexport directory using PRFile in Java step/function, unable to get filename from shared folders outside the serviceexport directory ( ex: /etc/app/sharedfolder). I have file read/write access to this shared folder. Please let me know is there any alternatives ?
I am also wondering how the file listener was able to listen to any folders (outside of service export directory).

You could use RAFile that FileListener uses
try {
com.pega.pegarules.storage.fs.resadaptor.RAFile file = new com.pega.pegarules.storage.fs.resadaptor.RAFile("/home/pradeep");
System.out.println( "contents length : " + file.listFiles().length);
}catch (java.io.IOException ioe) {
throw new PRRuntimeException("Unexpected exception encountered in accessing file path",ioe);
}
