Review the helloworld_file_action readme.txt -------------------------------------------- Key: JBESB-324 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBESB-324 Project: JBoss ESB Issue Type: Task Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Components: Examples Affects Versions: 4.0 CR2 Reporter: Burr Sutter Assigned To: Esteban Schifman Fix For: 4.0 CR2 Please review the contents of the readme.txt in the helloworld_file_action quickstart. Specifically the section that tries to describe the attributes of the fs-message-filter tag. It is pasted below but if you need to make edits please update the one in SVN directly. Overview: ========= This is a basic example of using the File gateway feature of the JBoss ESB Files that are found in a particular directory with a particular extension are sent to a JMS queue with actions for processing. Before Running: =============== 1. Update the "jbosshome.dir" property in the quickstarts.properties file in "../". 2. Make sure the jbossesb.sar is deployed on your JBoss Application Server. 3. Make sure the JBoss Application server is running since it uses JBossMQ 4. Open the jbossesb.xml configuration file and review this section: <fs-bus busid="helloFileChannel" > <fs-message-filter directory="C:/tmp/ESBInput" input-suffix=".dat" work-suffix=".esbWorking" post-delete="false" post-directory="C:/tmp/ESBInputt" post-suffix=".sentToEsb" error-delete="false" error-directory="C:/tmp/ESBInput" error-suffix=".IN_ERROR" /> </fs-bus> You will need to create a tmp/ESBInput directory or modify this section of jbossesb.xml 5. If you change these settings make sure to also change the build.xml's runtest target To Run: ======= 1. In a command window type "ant run". You will see the service get registered in the JBoss AS server console as well as by the activity in the command window where the service runs. 2. Open another command window and type "ant runtest". This will create a new file called "MyInput.dat" in the directory "/tmp/ESBInput" with the contents "Hello World In A File" 3. You should see the output on the first command window running the service. 4. Change the file name and contents and re-test. What to look at in this Quickstart: =================================== This example demonstrates the use of a file gateway that by default loads the file and pushes into a JMS message queue. What follows is a more detailed discussion on the file gateway: * directory - the directory to be monitored for input file messages * input-suffix - the file extension to be monitored, other files will be ignored * work-suffix - the file extension that is used while the file is "in process" by the ESB. The file is considered to be "in process" while the gateway is passing it into the ESB listener/service (in this case JMS queue). * post-delete - "true" or "false". The file can be removed once has been successfully processed. * post-directory - The place where the "processed" file ends up assuming no errors and assuming post-delete="false" * post-suffix - The file extension that is used to mark the file as "completed" * error-delete - "true" or "false". If there is an internal error and the file fails to be loaded by the ESB, delete it. * error-directory - The place to drop any file that fails to be uploaded/processed * error-suffix - The file extension that is used to mark a file has had an internal error. Note: Error processing in this case means the file failed to pass through the gateway and into the waiting queue. This does NOT cover errors/exceptions in your action classes. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
