FileProcessStrategy

[Kevin Jackson]

Hi,

I have a problem creating a custom File processing strategy for when
to download a file from an FTP server

Essentially we have to poll for a .DONE file to exist before taking
the data file.

public class MyFTPProcessStrategy<T> extends
GenericFileProcessStrategySupport<T> {

    @Override
    public boolean begin(GenericFileOperations<T>
tGenericFileOperations, GenericFileEndpoint<T> tGenericFileEndpoint,
Exchange exchange, GenericFile<T> tGenericFile) throws Exception {
        super.begin(tGenericFileOperations, tGenericFileEndpoint,
exchange, tGenericFile);
        List<GenericFile<T>> files =
(List<GenericFile<T>>)tGenericFileOperations.listFiles();
        for(GenericFile<T> f : files) {
            if(f.getFileName().endsWith(".DONE")) {
                return true;
            }
        }
        return false;
    }
}

I get a class cast exception when looping through the files on the server:
java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTPFile
cannot be cast to org.apache.camel.component.file.GenericFile

When I have checked nabble, this seems to be the correct solution
(check for the existence of a .ready file).

This is with camel-2.1

Is this a known bug, a stupid implementation decision from me, or
something else?

Thanks,
Kev
