We have a running SFTP route using the &filter option to accept files using a regular expression. This is working fine in Camel 2.25.0.
Migrating to Camel 3.5.0 it is not working at all. Every file in the directory is downloaded, disregarding the filter option. I can't find any documentation about what might have changed EXCEPT that the &filter option has changed so that the bean reference should be without the "#" character prefix. Bean definition ============ @Bean public static StatusFileFilter<String> shuttleStatusFileFilter() { return new StatusFileFilter<>(); } Class definition ============ @Component public class StatusFileFilter<T> implements GenericFileFilter<T> { /** * The Shuttle file. */ @Value("${shuttle.status-filename.regexp}") private String shuttleFile; @Override public boolean accept(final GenericFile<T> genericFile) { final long fileLength = genericFile.getFileLength(); final String fileName = genericFile.getFileName(); final boolean matches = fileName.matches(shuttleFile); return (fileLength > 0 && matches); } } The route: ======== final String fromStatusFilesStr = "{{shuttle.ftp.incoming-status-files.url}}" + "&username={{shuttle.ftp.username}}" + "&password={{shuttle.ftp.password}}" + "&allowNullBody=false" + "&filter=shuttleStatusFileFilter" + "&bridgeErrorHandler=true" + "&throwExceptionOnConnectFailed=true"; from(fromStatusFilesStr) .to("log:StatusFiles?showHeaders=true&showProperties=true&multiline=true") .choice() .when(body().isNotNull()) .split(bodyAs(String.class).tokenize("\n")) //<.> .parallelProcessing(true) .streaming() .to("{{jms.queue.statefiles}}") .to("log:StateFiles?level=INFO&groupInterval=10000&groupActiveOnly=true") .choice() .when(simple("${header.CamelSplitComplete} == true")) .log("Number of records split: ${header.CamelSplitSize}") .log("Importing complete: ${header.CamelFileName}") .endChoice() .end(); I have tried to log whatever is going on in the bean but no log statements are present so that's why I think it is not working properly, the bean is not activated. The documentation still points out the hash-char as prefix so that must still be wrong: https://camel.apache.org/components/latest/file-component.html#_filter_using_org_apache_camel_component_file_genericfilefilter Pls advice what could be wrong and/or point me to some documentation Thx /M
