file outbound-channel-adapter write payload only?

[jccartwright]

Hello All,

I have a file outbound channel adapter configured as below and am finding that the files generated have the complete message written to them including the header, e.g.

[Payload=Sat May 05 21:19:30 MDT 2012][Headers={timestamp=1353739161022, id=d677224a-6bca-4849-bdaa-be6d48891609, file_name=input/sample.fnv}]

Given that the inbound messages are typed as Message<String> how can I configure such that only the payload is written? I've seen examples, for instance the STS template project, which seem to accomplish this w/o any apparent difference that what I'm attempting. In that case the channel-adapter is connected to a header-value-router, but the message type should be the same.

Thanks for any help!

It looks like something upstream of the adapter is doing this conversion (message.toString()); the adapter can only handle File, byte[] and String payloads; otherwise it throws an exception. The adapter never writes a String representation of the message it receives.

I suggest you run with DEBUG logging and you will see the message as it progresses through your flow.

Thanks Gary, that's just what I was looking for!
