Need advice: zip files support

[jbbarquero]

Hello,

I'm considering using Spring Integration (SI) in a flow process that clearly fits in this kind of technology.

I only have a basic knowledge of SI but I think I could manage the project.

However, the business logic is based on ZIP files that contains XML descriptors.

There is good support for XML files, but I didn't found any reference to ZIP files.

Can anybody give me some advice for treating ZIP files in SI?

Thank you very much.

Zipping and Unzipping files is not a straight forward process since we don't really know how far in the hierarchy do you want to go, that is why its left up to the developer to provide a custom implementation of the transformer or service-activator and refer to it using 'ref' attribuite. For example:

<bean id="myUnzipTransformer" class="foo.bar.MyTransformer"/>

 <int:transformer . . . ref="myUnzipTransformer"/>

An implementation of such transformer would be using java.util.zip API to process ZIP files. Here is a good getting started point: http://www.exampledepot.com/egs/java...CreateZip.html

I'll try with a service activator.

Thanks for the reply.

Hi Oleg,

Was wondering if there is out of box support for handling zip/archive files part of spring-integration-file implementation or elsewhere? Or still we have to write custom transformer?

Thanks,
An
