[jira] [Commented] (CAMEL-7621) camel-bindy - Two new properties to StringFormat through DataField: toUppercase and mapToASCII

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-7621?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16023475#comment-16023475 ] 

onder sezgin commented on CAMEL-7621:
-------------------------------------

it seems [~anoordover] implemented factory pattern through https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-9954
which is very nice.
patch does not seem applicable and even if it would be applicable, i'd like to imagine such an implementation for DataField like 

{code}
@DataField(pos = 14, length = 5, align = "L", function="toUpperCase")
private String lastName;
{code}

and function plays with the data field as injected through function's method.

I guess this may be an limited implementation because such annonation attribute and its value as method name
may be for calling methods with no parameter. and maybe in future method's with arguements would be provided.

or maybe with such SPI custom method binding would be provided. Not sure for now how it can be done..

what do you think about it?

> We faced many times the need of converting string fields to uppercase and get rid of non-ASCII characters when interacting, using fixed-length files, with COBOL banking cores.
> So we decided to patch our own version of camel-bindy to add two new properties to DataField annotation:
> toUpperCase=<true|false> which converts, if its a String type field, content to uppercase.
> mapToASCII=<true|false>  which maps, if its a String type field, content to 7-bit ASCII character mapping. Extended characters are currently mapped like this
> ä,â,á,à -> a (same for all vowels)
> ß -> b
> ç -> c
> ñ -> n
> Conversion uses a lookup table so it could be easily extended to other chars. This conversion only applies when marshalling. This feature has proven very useful to us when interacting with banking cores and one that repeatedly has to be recoded or reused. We love the annotation-driven model of bindy so decided to patch our own version and submit the patch hoping it would be as useful to others as it is to us.
