getting the most updated files in a directory

[Sonal Sharma]

how to get the most updated text files in a directory by comparing its date time attributes with that of the system.When we get the latest file we need to send it to MySQL database. Then the web application picks up the latest file from the database and displays it and this page keeps refreshing after 10 secs to get the latest data.I am using Netbeans with Visual Web Pack working mainly using JSF.
If nay body implemented same sort of logic or application, then please reply as soon as possible.

Thanks and regards,
