Kurt, This is where we left it . I believe this is one way of doing it. The factory will return the corresponding implementation. So far I haven't implemented this logic, instead I am focusing to get the EdtFtpImpl and JschFtpImpl class working. [Your input is welcome though :-) ] The method responsible for this in the factory looks like this so far: | public static RemoteFileSystem getRemoteFileSystem(ConfigTree p_oP, boolean p_bConnect) | throws RemoteFileSystemException | { | try | { | // TODO get the implementation class from properties. | | //ConfigTree cfgTree = ConfigTree.fromInputStream((InputStream)new FileInputStream("ftp-esb-properties.xml")); | return new EdtFtpImpl(p_oP,p_bConnect); | } View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3984873#...
