Petals-BC-Filetransfer 4.0.0+

This version must be installed on Petals ESB 5.1.0+

Features

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

This component allows to:

  • Expose a file system access 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.
  • Poll a configured directory for incoming files. At a poll, each file retrieved is put into a new JBI message, set as source or attachment. The message is sent to a target JBI service.
All attachment are processed by using XOP rules.(XML-binary Optimized Packaging : http://www.w3.org/TR/xop10/ )

Exposing a file system access as a service (Provides mode)

All operations support wild card character.
All operations are in namespace http://petals.ow2.org/components/filetransfer/version-3.

Usage

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 :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ver:put xmlns:ver="http://petals.ow2.org/components/filetransfer/version-3">?</ver:put>

The service does not return a message.
The available exchange pattern is : InOnly.

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 :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ver:mput xmlns:ver="http://petals.ow2.org/components/filetransfer/version-3">
    <ver:attachments>
        <!--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>

The service does not return a message.

The available exchange pattern is : InOnly.

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 : 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ver:get xmlns:ver="http://petals.ow2.org/components/filetransfer/version-3">
     <ver:filename>file name to retrieve</ver:filename>
</ver:get>

The OUT message returned to the consumer is the content of the XML file

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.

Only xml file could be processed otherwise an error will be raised.

GetAsAttachement Operation

When the getAsAttachment operation is set on the incoming IN message, the component retrieve ONE file from the configured directory according to the filename(or filter) set in the XML request.
The retrieved file is set in the OUT message as an attachment.

The IN message looks like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ver:getAsAttachment xmlns:ver="http://petals.ow2.org/components/filetransfer/version-3">
     <ver:filename>file name to retrieve</ver:filename>
 </ver:getAsAttachment>

The OUT message returned to the consumer contains file, as attachment:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<tns:getAsAttachmentResponse xmlns:tns="http://petals.ow2.org/components/filetransfer/version-3">
  <tns:attachment>

  </tns:attachment>
</tns:getAsAttachmentResponse>

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

The available exchange pattern is : InOut.

MGet Operation

When the mget operation is set on the incoming IN message, the component retrieves files from the configured directory, according to the filenames (or filters) set in the XML request.
There is no recursion, sub folders are ignored.

Each file is set in the OUT message as an attachment.
The IN message looks like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ver:mget xmlns:ver="http://petals.ow2.org/components/filetransfer/version-3">
<\!\--1 or more repetitions:-\->
<ver:filename>*.xml</ver:filename>

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

Invoking service on incoming file (Consumes mode)

If you want to invoke a service provider in Petals ESB with files, put the files in the configured directory (folder}). At each configured polling period ({{polling-period), the component fetches the incoming files.

For each received files and according to the transfer mode (transfer-mode or base-msg), the component creates a new message exchange and attaches the file, either as source or attachment.

If a file is put as a attachment, the name of the attachment is set to the name of the file, and in the source of the message exchange, the component put a XML structure according to MTOM optimization rules.

The resulted message exchange(s) are sent to the target endpoint.

During the transfer, if the backup directory (backup-directory) is set, the transfered file is moved into it and never deleted by the component. Otherwise the file is moved to the system temporary directory.

A InOut service provider can be exposed to be consumed through files. The content of its reply will be ignored. By default the message exchange pattern used to send messages to the service provider is 'InOnly'. Just set the right value into the parameter mep in the section consumes of the SU JBI descriptor.

When deploying a service unit like in the following code snippet, all the files put in the directory $PETALS_HOME/filetransfer/in would be set as the payload of an invocation to the ftContentNoBaseMsgService service.

 Installation

Definition of CDK parameter scope :

  • Installation: The parameter can be set during the installation of the component, by using the installation MBean (see JBI specifications for details about the installation sequence). If the parameter is optional and has not been defined during the development of the component, it is not available at installation time.
  • Runtime: The paramater can be set during the installation of the component and during runtime. The runtime configuration can be changed using the CDK custom MBean named RuntimeConfiguration. If the parameter is optional and has not been defined during the development of the component, it is not available at installation and runtime times.

Interceptor

Interceptors can be defined to inject some post or pre processing in the component during service processing.

Using interceptor is very sensitive and must be manipulate only by power users. An non properly coded interceptor engaged in a component can lead to uncontrolled behaviors, out of the standard process.
