Moving Files to Archive Directory Using Apache Camel FTP Component

In today’s digital world, managing files efficiently is crucial, especially when dealing with numerous files stored in a database. Many applications require transferring files from one location to another, and this is where Apache Camel comes into play. One common scenario involves moving files processed from an FTP server to an archive directory. This guide will guide you on how to achieve this using the Apache Camel FTP component.

The Problem

You may have encountered a situation where you needed to move files retrieved from an FTP server to an archive directory. The goal is to perform this action using the producerTemplate in Apache Camel. Here's the essence of the problem you're likely facing:

Files have been successfully fetched and processed.

You are attempting to move those files to an archive directory on the FTP server.

When executing your current code, you encounter a warning indicating that the file body is null, leading to a failure in the move operation.

Error Example

For instance, upon running your code, you might see an error message like this:

The Solution

To successfully move files to an archive directory using Apache Camel, it's essential to ensure that you’ve handled the file body correctly and have implemented the necessary post-move actions. Below, we’ll break down the solution into manageable steps.

Step 1: Utilize the onCompletion Block

Instead of relying solely on producerTemplate, you can make use of the onCompletion() block in your route. This allows you to perform actions after the move operation is completed. Here's how you can do it:

Example Code

Explanation

SFTP URI Configuration: The source and destination URIs are configured to include the necessary credentials and actions for file movement.

onCompletion: This part hooks into the existing route to specify what should happen once the move is completed.

Post Move Actions: The direct:postMoveActions allows you to call another route for any tasks you need to perform after the file is moved.

Logging: Logging statements are placed to provide visibility into which files have been successfully moved.

Conclusion

Successfully moving files to an archive directory using Apache Camel's FTP component requires careful handling of the file body and strategizing post-move actions. By utilizing onCompletion alongside your route, you can effectively manage file transfers while ensuring that necessary follow-up processes are executed.
