Using AMQ to send files?

[Larry Meadors <la...@gmail.com>]

I'm looking at a process where we are moving around 2000 pdf files per
day (not sure of the size yet - I'd guess < 2MB) to an alternate
location.

We'd have a process that sent the pdf files to our queue, and a second
process that would get them from there and push them to their new
home.

I am wondering if doing this with AMQ will cause issues.

I can't think of any reasons that it would, but just wanted to see if
anyone here had any experience that would make me re-think this. :)

AS a enhancement, amq supports sending blobmessage whose size can be very large (says 2GB).
So you certainly can use it to send those pdf files as well.

Yup - we're using camel for the receiving end of it - the sending end
is not my concern. :)

Sounds like one for Apache Camel (using ActiveMQ).

Camel to poll a filesystem directory (possibly) to shift the files onto a
queue. At the other end another Camel route to take from the queue and
place into another filesystem directory.
