FileComponent currently has an append option, which is set to true for File Producers to make the Producer write to the end of an existing file, and false to make it overwrite an existing file. However, sometimes it is an error for it to do anything to change an existing file. Would it be possible to add a clobber option to the FileComponent which defaults to true but when set to false prevents the File Producer from modifying an existing file? It should probably throw some kind of Camel Exception when it attempts to write to a file that already exists. If desired, the Route can then catch this Exception and handle it, for instance by trying to write the file to a different location.
This option might also be useful for some other Producer components for the same reason. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Feature-Request%3A-clobber-option-for-FileComponent-tp23751774p23751774.html Sent from the Camel Development mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
