Compressing file after Move

[ebinsingh <eb...@VerizonWireless.com>]

Hi All,

We have an route which reads files, process them and then move them to a
back up location.
We would like to commpress these files that have been proceesed and then
move them to the back up location.

Is there a way to do this? 

Appreciate your help.

Thanks & regards,
Ebe

Ah nice to know. No the ?move option on the camel endpoint will
*always* do a File IO move operation on the input file.

So you need to move the file in your Camel route instead, and use
noop=true&idempoten=false on the file endpoint uri.

Something along the lines off

from file
   do route stuff here
   gzip
   to (file:backup)

I guess it may be nice to have some way of gzip support built-in the
file endpoint.
It is a bit common to compress backup files.

However in the past I have done it outside Java using scripts on servers.
But some level of support in Camel would be nice.

Thanks, I tried using gzip (As we moved to Solaris) and it does work as
expected.
But my issue is to compress before moving the files to back up.

<endpoint id="acquireltel2TAP"
uri="file:/work_dir/data/input/tap?move=/work_dir/data/input/bkp/tap" />

The above endpoint moves the file as such to the directory
"/work_dir/data/input/bkp/tap". But we want the file to be compressed before
being backed up.

Is there a way of doing this.

Hi

Camel does not have a file compression component.

The zip data format is almost there, but it may not compress the
content using a File Zip API.
But I think there has been a contribution about this, there may be a
JIRA ticket with some code.

The JDK do have API for compressing using Zip, and in a zip file format.
