There is no generic interface into the OS from Java. The application is running within the a JVM and the only access you have directly is through classes like java.lang.System which provides hooks into the OS.

For any specific case where you want to catch I/O interrupts, I think the best but would be to create a higher level interface in C++ and then load that the JVM to access it. However you may well find, if you bother to think about your requirements, that there is a higher level and easier way to achieve your goal.

Do you really need to know when low level interupts fire or can you just listen for the mouse, file system or keyboard?
