Spring Integration's File support extends the Spring Integration Core with a dedicated vocabulary to deal with reading, writing, and transforming files. It provides a namespace that enables elements defining Channel Adapters dedicated to files and support for Transformers that can read file contents into strings or byte arrays.
This section will explain the workings of FileReadingMessageSource
and FileWritingMessageHandler
and how to configure them as
beans. Also the support for dealing with files through file specific
implementations of Transformer
will be discussed. Finally the
file specific namespace will be explained.
