h1. Feature

The FileTransfer component is a Binding Component (BC) which supports file transfers.

This component allows to:

* Expose a file system connector as a service which provide a set of 8 operations:
** *put:* Write the received JBI messages in a file with a specified name
** *mput:* Write the JBI message attachments it receives into files.
** *get:* Retrieve *Xml* file corresponding to a pattern, from a folder. Return it as message payload.
** *getAsAttachment:* Retrieve the first file corresponding to a pattern, from a folder. Return it as message's attachment.(XOP standard)
** *mGet:* Retrieve files corresponding to a pattern, from a folder. Return them as message's attachment.
** *checkFile:* Check the availability of a file.
** *del:* Delete one file.
** *dir:* List the content of a folder.

h2. Usage


h3. Put Operation

When the put operation is set on the incoming IN message, the component writes the XML message to the configured directory.

The created file takes the name described in the service unit (filename parameter) otherwise the operation name is taken. For each file created, the system date is appended to this file name.

The IN message looks like :
{code:lang=xml}
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ver:put xmlns:ver="http://petals.ow2.org/components/filetransfer/version-3">?</ver:put>
{code}
The service does not return a message.
The available exchange pattern is : *InOnly*.

h3. MPut Operation

When the mput operation is set on the incoming IN message, the component writes the attachments on the configured directory.
The IN message looks like :
{code:lang=xml}
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ver:mput>
<ver:attachments xmlns:ver="http://petals.ow2.org/components/filetransfer/version-3">
<!--1 or more repetitions:-->
<ver:filename><xop:Include xmlns:xop="http://www.w3.org/2004/08/xop/include" href="cid:test1.xml"/></ver:filename>
<ver:filename><xop:Include xmlns:xop="http://www.w3.org/2004/08/xop/include" href="cid:test2.xml"/></ver:filename>
</ver:attachments>
</ver:mput>
{code}
The service does not return a message.

The available exchange pattern is : *InOnly*.

h3. Get Operation

When the get operation is set on the incoming IN message, the component retrieves ONE file from the configured directory and return it as an XML message content.
\\

The name of the file to retrieve is set in the XML IN content of the message.
\\

The IN message looks like :
\\
{code:lang=xml}<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

\\

The service might return a Fault when an element in the request is missing or if an IO error occurs
\\

The available exchange patterns is : *InOut*.

h3. GetAsAttachement Operation

h3. MGet Operation

h3. Del Operation

When the del operation is set on the incoming IN message, the component deletes the remote file. The IN message looks like :
{code:lang=xml}<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ver:del xmlns:ver="http://petals.ow2.org/components/filetransfer/version-3">
<ver:filename>?</ver:filename>
</ver:del>
{code}
The service does not return a message.

The available exchange pattern is : *InOnly*.

h3. CheckFile Operation

When the check operation is set on the incoming IN message, the component check
if the specified file exist. The IN message looks like&nbsp;:
{code:lang=xml}
<ver:checkFile xmlns:ver="http://petals.ow2.org/components/filetransfer/version-3">
<ver:filename>?</ver:filename>
</ver:checkFile>
{code}

The OUT message returned to the consumer looks like&nbsp;:
{code:lang=xml}
<ver:checkFileResponse xmlns:ver="http://petals.ow2.org/components/filetransfer/version-3">
<ver:filename>?</ver:filename>
<ver:exist>true|false</ver:exist>
</ver:checkFileResponse>
{code}

The service might return an ioFault.
The available exchange pattern is : *InOut*.

h3. Service Unit descriptor

The service unit is configurable via its extensions in the jbi.xml file:
\\
{code:lang=xml}<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jbi:jbi xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:jbi="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jbi"

version="1.0">

<jbi:services binding-component="true">
....
</jbi:services>
</jbi:jbi>{code}

h3. Service Unit content

The Service Unit has to contain the following elements, packaged in an archive:
\\
* The META-INF/jbi.xml descriptor file, has described above,
* An optional wsdl file describing the related service

{code}service-unit.zip
+ META-INF
- jbi.xml (as defined above)
- service.wsdl (optional)
