The directory receiver is the consumer supplied interface for receiving notifications pertaining to new, updated or deleted directories.

An example showing how to receive notifications of new directories created under a user's home directory.

                     
                     
                     notificationSession = manager.getDirectoryNotificationSessionForDirectory(myReceiver, "/Users/tom");
                     notificationSession.useFederatedDirectoryView();
                     notificationSession.registerForNewDirectories();
                     
                                 
                     
                

                     
                     
                     class myReceiver {
                         void newDirectories(osid.id.IdList directoryIds) {
                             while (directoryIds.hasNext()) {
                                osid.filing.Directory directory = lookupSession.getDirectory(directoryIds.getNextId());
                                print "new directory created: " + directory.getPath());
                             }
                     
                             notificationSession.acknowledgeDiectoryNotification(notificationId);
                         }
                     
                         void changedDirectories(osid.id.IdList directoryIds) {}
                         void deletedDirectories(osid.id.IdList directoryIds) {}
                         void up() {}
                         void down() {}
                     }
