No. setting watcher is binds to session, so it will not triggered anymore.
you have to set the watcher again on the new session, do it yourself.
My way is writing a reconnect watcher decorator, this class add a connection watcher and it rebuild watcher.
A connection wrapper should simplify the code.

curator is a good high level client lib, it may help you much.
my implement is a home-made lib, I do not found curator that time :(

with a connection wrapper like curator client, the watcher decorator is quite simple.
Inner connection watcher will trigger when old session expired and new session open again.
this connection watcher set the watcher, checks Stat and trigger the watcher if needed.

I have another question。

I set a watch on one znode。 A change happen，the service my client had
connected sent the  packet ，but this time，my client becomes partitioned from
the ZK serving cluster。
 When my session reconnect,may I get the event？

I think it is not。
but in the
http://zookeeper.apache.org/doc/current/zookeeperProgrammers.html#ch_zkWatches
said ： ZooKeeper provides an ordering guarantee: a client will never see a
change for which it has set a watch until it first sees the watch event.

ZK only guarantee on write sequence to zookeeper, not watch recv by client.

Yes, you will get the notification when (if) the session eventually
reconnects to the service.

That's correct. When the client reconnects you'll get any
notifications that you missed.

If it is the same session that it connect to another server, I believe the answer is yes.
If the old session is expired and a new session is create, the watch not get the event.
You need to set watch with new session, and those calls will return the changed data/state.
So you need to process those in your reconnect logic.
A tip: do not keep whole data or children, just the version or cversion.

Thank you all
I have another question。

I set a watch （getData）on a znode。the getData api said ：
 <p>
     * If the watch is non-null and the call is successful (no exception is
     * thrown), a watch will be left on the node with the given path. The
watch
     * will be triggered by a successful operation that sets data on the
node, or
     * deletes the node.
     * <p>

I used the method “Is there an easy way to expire a session for testing?” to
imitate the expire
（in https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/ZOOKEEPER/FAQ��

in the process,I can/t update the znode ,why the watch be triggered.
I found the  WatchedEvent state is Disconnected and Expired.

I can/t found the triggered condition in the zookeeper wiki and api. I am
confuse.

help me! Thank you !

The event is called "None" (not a great name) in Java API. It's for
notifying the watches that the session state has changed.

http://zookeeper.apache.org/doc/r3.4.1/api/org/apache/zookeeper/Watcher.Event.EventType.html

It's up to you to decide how to handle these events. This page
provides a good insight about error handling in zookeeper.

Thank you！
but i thank it/s not my answer。
 My questiong is：using java api，I set a watch
（ methed：getData(final String path, Watcher watcher, Stat stat) ）

I know  the watch can be triggered when NodeDataChanged and NodeDeleted ���the
api tell me only the two EventType ）。

but I found the watch was triggered by EventType.NOne when i try testing to
expired a session。

（https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/ZOOKEEPER/FAQ
Is there an easy way to expire a session for testing?）

Watches are not considered triggered when the watch handlers get
called with EventType.None, They are merely being notified that the
client got disconnected from ZooKeeper and they won't receive any
watch events until the session gets re-established. When the client
gets reconnected to ZooKeeper, it might find out that the session has
been expired. In that case, all the watches associated with that
sessions are lost.

This page explains why ZooKeeper notifies watches about session events.

http://zookeeper.apache.org/doc/r3.2.2/zookeeperProgrammers.html#ch_zkWatches

{quote}
When you disconnect from a server (for example, when the server
fails), you will not get any watches until the connection is
reestablished. For this reason session events are sent to all
outstanding watch handlers. Use session events to go into a safe mode:
you will not be receiving events while disconnected, so your process
should act conservatively in that mode.
