FTP bus that is read-only (no rename, post-delete etc) ------------------------------------------------------ Key: JBESB-533 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBESB-533 Project: JBoss ESB Issue Type: Feature Request Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: Adapters Affects Versions: 4.0 Beta 1 Maintenance Pack 1 Reporter: Daniel Bevenius Assigned To: Daniel Bevenius Priority: Minor Fix For: 4.2 Milestone Release 3 Attachments: ftpfile_cache_test.xml, FtpFileCache.java, FtpFileCacheTest.java, Providers_and_ListenersGuide.odt, ReadOnlyRemoteFileSystemStrategy.java, ReadOnlyRemoteFileSystemStrategyTest.java, RemoteFileSystemStrategy.java I currently have a requirement to use the ftpbus to connect to an ftp server running on a mainframe computer. The permissions that exists there are for the current file and it is read only. This means that we cannot rename the file upon pickup and not move/delete after processing it. Proposed solutions: 1. Add a property to the ftp-message-filter, for example read-only="true". This would probably make it more clear to the end user that the other properties like post-delete, post-directory, work-suffix, post-delete, post-directory etc, are not valid for this configuration. If the read-only value is true a subclass of RemoteGatewayListener would be used. The current implementation sets the gatewayClass in the class FtpListenerMapper line 80: if(listener.getIsGateway()) { listenerNode.setAttribute("gatewayClass", RemoteGatewayListener.class.getName()); Is there another way to set the gatewayClass that I'm not aware of? I'll investigate this and perhaps post a question to the design forum. 2. Add a strategy to the RemoteGatewayListener that handles delete and rename. The default strategy would work like it does now but one would be able to specify a strategy in the configuration to override it. The strategy to use would then be set in the checkMyParams if the default strategy in not wanted. I would appreciate any suggestions or comments. I assigned this to myself only because I need to start on this as soon as possible.
