Spring Integration Adapters?

[carlosayam]

Hi,

Are the spring integration adapters active? The last version of the FTP adapter is Oct/2009... If not, what's the alternative?

regards
Carlos

Good question. I'm still the lead of that project, but I haven't done much for it lately. You can just copy the ftp polling code and use it from your project. You can also look into other solutions like lftp (http://lftp.yar.ru/) which are much more advanced and easier to debug.

I'm planning to move the project to maven and host it on github to reduce the hoops you have to jump to use it right now, but it's just a handful of classes in a public repository, so feel free to grab what you need.

Hi,
I would also need several adapters besides provided ones, e.g smpp, xmpp, twitter, facebook.
Could you please advice me whether is better to:
1. create my own adapters, by taking existing ftp adapter as a template.
or
2. use existing adapter(s) from apache camel.

For 1) the question is if I want to contribute that code or share the development effort, what is a recommended way to do that?

For 2) is there any documentation about reusing camel adapters inside spring integration, or some hint what would be the best way to do this?

thanks,
Milan
