Publish assets automatically on folder

[Former Community Member]

Hello, I want to publish an asset instantly as it's dropped into a specific folder.

How can I do this?

Thanks!

You can write a Java program to watch a specific folder on the desktop.

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/essential/io/notification.html

WHen you drop a file in a Java Watch Folder- post the file to an AEM sling settler. In the servlet - place the file in the DAM. Then use this API to replication content:

Is there a example of this anywhere?

Not too familiar with this Replication Package

Hi 

For Replication Package, please have a look at :- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18955982/how-to-activate-programmatically-a-page-in-cq5-workflow

and 

Option 2 [Not tried, but could work]

Activate the page/assets on modification using Workflows
