Consuming and updating directory using camel endpoint

[dealbitte <ra...@hotmail.co.uk>]

Hi,

I have the following requirement and I would like to know if it is possible
to implement it with Camel. 

Requirement: There exists a directory 'Drop-box' where users can drop
directories in this 'Drop-box'. It should be possible to detect such
directories (not files) dropped in the 'Drop-box' and generate a file (say
using processor) and pack the detected directory and the generated file into
a new directory and move it to 'Output' directory. 

Let's say directory 'A' has 3 files (f1.txt, f2.xml, f3.xsd). If a user
drops directory 'A' in the 'Drop-box' which is being monitored by the camel,
it should be possible with camel routes to detect the directory 'A' and
create a  file (say, info.xml) and then create a new directory called
'A-updated' whose contents should be directory 'A' and file 'info.xml'. At
the end of the route this 'A-updated' directory will be moved to 'Output'
directory.

As far as i know, files can be detected by camel but not directory. The
option 'recursive=true' for the File component traverses the sub-directories
and processes the files, but my requirement is to treat the whole directory
as if it is a file. 

Is there a way in camel to achieve the above flow ? Please share your
thoughts.

The current work around is to manually zip the directory and then dropping
it in the 'Drop-box'.

Regards.

You might be able to use a
org.apache.camel.component.file.GenericFileFilter instance as a filter. If
directories are passed to that, then you can write your own filter to only
return directories.

Would prob also need a  processStrategy  so that you only start processing
once the directory upload is complete (a time comparison on last file added
time?).
