Hi, I would like to have the point of view of the others camel riders concerning the following component :
File scan component The idea behind this component is to have an equivalent of the tail (unix function) or mtail (under Windows) program who scan lines added to a file. Using a filter processor in combination with this component, we scan generates alerts, ... depending of the info discovered in the file I have found this idea after investigating how I can start one of my route in camel if a FIX connection is established with FIX server. When such a connection is established and is alive, the quickfix engine generates entries in a log file. With the help a file scan component I could take the decision to start or stop my routes. Why, because it makes no sense to send messages to the quickfix endpoint if the FIX server is down, if we are outside of business hours, ....
