Move file to other directory

[DevSpring]

Hi all,
I have a requirement, in which I need to read a file using a <file:inbound-channel-adapter /> and then send the data in the channel. Then change the name of the file as abc.csv to abc.csv.processed and move it to different folder.

How can I do this using Spring integration?

Thanks,
Dev

I am able to complete one part of my requirement, i.e. moving file from one directory to other and also forwarding the data in the channel , by using <file:outbound-gateway/> after the <file:inbound-channel-adapter/>.
But now I am having one more requirement i.e. if the file is empty, then move it to rejected folder. How can I achieve this requirement? Please help.

Thanks,
Dev

seems to me that this might be a small problem..

As I am new to SI, every suggestion will be helpful for me.

Use a <router/> with expression="payload.length() == 0" (this evaluates to File.length() when the payload is a File object). When true, route to rejected channel when false, route to normal channel.

Hi, actually I want to move the file (if empty) from one folder to other, not the message in the channel.
Using router we can move the message in the channel, what I know.

Thanks,

Right...

<file:inbound-channel-adapter channel="choose"
                              directory="file:${java.io.tmpdir}/spring-integration-samples/input"
                              filename-pattern="*.txt">
	<int:poller id="poller" fixed-delay="5000" max-messages-per-poll="2"/>
</file:inbound-channel-adapter>

<int:router input-channel="choose" expression="payload.length() == 0">
	<int:mapping value="true" channel="reject" />
	<int:mapping value="false" channel="filesIn" />
</int:router>

<int:channel id="reject" />

<int:service-activator input-channel="reject" output-channel="stdout" 
	expression="payload.renameTo(new java.io.File('/tmp/rejected/' + payload.name))" />

<int-stream:stdout-channel-adapter id="stdout" append-newline="true" />

This just puts the result of the rename to stdout - you could add a test to make sure it's true. Or, use groovy or java instead of a simple SpEL expression in the <service-activator/> that renames the file.

You can have a file inbound adapter with a filter downstream with the expression Gary gave (expression="payload.length() == 0").
The output channel of the filter can be an input to an file outbound channel adapter which writes to a specific directory. You may have the delete-source-files attribute set to true.

Have a look at this section for file adapters and this for message filters.

Thanks Gary and Amol.

I used mixed solution suggested by you. I used file inbound adapter with a router downstream with the expression Gary gave (expression="payload.length() == 0"). Then I used rejected channel of the filter as an input to an file outbound channel adapter which writes to a specific directory also I used delete-source-files attribute set to true as suggested by Amol.

Thank you once again both of you.
Thanks,
Dev
