Hi,

I stumbled about the BinaryFileMarshaler while looking for a problem I had.
This one has 2 parameters to set: 

- contentType
- attachment

Now the question. Why should somebody specify a content type? Isn't it
better to use the FileDataSource to put the file as attachment into the
message?
Second is why is there a configuration possibility for naming the
attachment? Is this really needed? I mean 99% would use the file name as
this or not?

maybe we could also change it to something like this as a middle solution:

/**
 * A FileMarshaler that converts the given input stream into a binary
 * attachment.
 * 
 * @org.apache.xbean.XBean
 * 
 * @author Guillaume Nodet
 * @since 3.0
 */
public class BinaryFileMarshaler extends DefaultFileMarshaler {

    private String attachment = FILE_CONTENT;
    private String contentType;

    public String getAttachment() {
        return attachment;
    }

    public void setAttachment(String attachment) {
        this.attachment = attachment;
    }

    public String getContentType() {
        return contentType;
    }

    public void setContentType(String contentType) {
        this.contentType = contentType;
    }

    public void readMessage(MessageExchange exchange, NormalizedMessage
message, 
                            InputStream in, String path) throws IOException,
JBIException {
        File file = new File(path);
        FileDataSource fds = new FileDataSource(file);
        DataSource ds = new StreamDataSource(in, contentType != null ?
contentType : fds.getContentType(), file.getName());
        DataHandler handler = new DataHandler(ds);
        message.addAttachment(attachment, handler);
        message.setProperty(FILE_NAME_PROPERTY, file.getName());
        message.setProperty(FILE_PATH_PROPERTY, path);
    }

    public void writeMessage(MessageExchange exchange, NormalizedMessage
message, 
                             OutputStream out, String path) throws
IOException, JBIException {
        DataHandler handler = message.getAttachment(attachment);
        if (handler == null) {
            throw new MessagingException("Could not find attachment: "
                    + attachment);
        }
        InputStream is = handler.getInputStream();
        FileUtil.copyInputStream(is, out);
    }

}

Shouldn't it be possible to use only FileDataSource or where is the sense in
doing it with StreamDataSource?

Regards,
Lars
