How to launch a job from file poller

[ASeniunas]

I'm a Spring newbie and I want to do the following:-

1. Poll a directory for files
2. For each file read, launch a batch job to read and validate the contents of each file.

I already have the code to do the validation, it currently uses an old Spring
SimpleFlatFileInputSource but needs to be changed to use a FlatFileItemReader.

The following link setups a poller

The following link tells me I need to setup a FileToJobLaunchRequestAdapter to launch the batch job.

The question is then how to I setup/configure a FileToJobLaunchRequestAdapter?

The following are the inbound channel adapter config in the first example so how does this need to be changed to call the FileToJobLaunchRequestAdapter?

<file:inbound-channel-adapter id="filesIn"
directory="file:${input.directory}"/>

<file:inbound-channel-adapter id="filesIn"
directory="file:${input.directory}"
filter="customFilterBean" />

<file:inbound-channel-adapter id="filesIn"
directory="file:${input.directory}"
filename-pattern="^test.*$" />

I'm willing to read any articles or recommended books!.

The sample app from Spring Batch Admin has a file polling job. You can see the config here: https://fisheye.springsource.org/bro...ext.xml?r=HEAD
