Automatically detect Files in Folders and save those files as documents in Mongodb

[kensuser]

Hi,
We have a requirement where in, in one main folder we will have many sub folders and in that sub folder i will have a file. My question is can we use spring integration to traverse these sub folders periodically say every 10 minutes, pick up the file automatically and save those files into mongodb as documents/gridfs.
Any help is appreciated immensely.

Thanks in advance,
kensuser

You can use a RecursiveLeafOnlyDirectoryScanner but note the comment in its JavaDoc - it's not suitable for very large directory trees.

<int-file:inbound-channel-adapter id="filesIn"
              scanner="recursiveScanner"
              directory="file:${java.io.tmpdir}/spring-integration-samples/input"
              filename-pattern="*.txt"> 
    <int:poller fixed-delay="600000" />
</file:inbound-channel-adapter>

<bean id="recursiveScanner" class="org.springframework.integration.file.RecursiveLeafOnlyDirectoryScanner" />
