DailyFolderAppender in a File outbound channel adapter

[jbbarquero]

Hello,

I need to create files in a similar fashion that DailyFolderAppender does with the log files in log4j: in an output directory, a folder per day. And there the resulting files.

See http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/...older-Appender

I'd like to use the Spring Integration namespace, so I've created a file name generator that, besides returning the file name from a Message, it creates the appropriate directories when necessary.

Does this approach go against the expected behaviour of a Spring Integration file outbound channel adapter?

Thanks

<int-file:outbound-channel-adapter id="fileBackup" directory="${integration.backupDirectory}" ... filename-generator="dailyFolderFileNameGenerator"/>

With:

@Component
public class DailyFolderFileNameGeneratorimplements FileNameGenerator {

	@Value("${integration.backupDirectory}")
	private String dir;

	public String generateFileName(Message<?> message) {
		
		MessageHeaders headers = message.getHeaders(); //If necessary

		//Obtain INFO to enrich the base folder

		File folder = new File(dir);

		//Append the INFO from the Header and the current date to the folder File

		if (!folder.exists()) {
			if (!folder.mkdirs())
				throw new MessageHandlingException(message, "failed to write Message payload to file. Can't create the daily folder appender with some data from the Header: "+folder.getAbsolutePath());
		}

		sb = new StringBuilder();
		sb.append(folder.getAbsolutePath())
			.append(File.separator)
			.append(message.getPayload().getName()) //Assuming we have a File
		;

		return sb.toString();
	}
