Julian Cable commented on CAMEL-3163: ------------------------------------- I haven't come across (b) - (a) will certainly meet my needs. Julian > Add look for mark file feature to file consumer > ----------------------------------------------- > > Key: CAMEL-3163 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-3163 > Project: Camel > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: camel-core, camel-ftp > Affects Versions: 2.4.0 > Reporter: Claus Ibsen > Assignee: Claus Ibsen > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 2.6.0 > > > Its still common to transfer data using files and using a marker file when > the data is ready. > We should have a feature on the file consumer, so it can be used to scan for > marker files, and then use the real file as the message body. > And then when its done it can delete/move both files. > The problem is how to define an easy way of correlating the marker file to > the real file. We can use an Expression for that. > For example maybe something like, (use better option names) > {{realFile=${file:name.noext}.csv&include=.*.ready}} > Then Camel will react when there is a .ready file in the folder. And evaluate > the expression and see if a file with that result exists. > When it's done the marker file should be deleted, and the real file should be > moved using the existing options for that. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
