public class FileWritingMessageHandler
extends AbstractReplyProducingMessageHandler
implements ManageableLifecycle, MessageTriggerAction

A MessageHandler implementation that writes the Message payload to a file. If the payload is a File object, it will copy the File to the specified destination directory. If the payload is a byte array, a String or an InputStream it will be written directly. Otherwise, the payload type is unsupported, and an Exception will be thrown.

To append a new-line after each write, set the appendNewLine flag to 'true'. It is 'false' by default.

If the 'deleteSourceFiles' flag is set to true, the original Files will be deleted. The default value for that flag is false. See the setDeleteSourceFiles(boolean) method javadoc for more information.

Other transformers may be useful to precede this handler. For example, any Serializable object payload can be converted into a byte array by the PayloadSerializingTransformer. Likewise, any Object can be converted to a String based on its toString() method by the ObjectToStringTransformer.

FileExistsMode.APPEND adds content to an existing file; the file is closed after each write. FileExistsMode.APPEND_NO_FLUSH adds content to an existing file and the file is left open without flushing any data. Data will be flushed based on the flushInterval or when a message is sent to the trigger(Message) method, or a flushIfNeeded method is called.

Constructor Details
- FileWritingMessageHandler
  
  public FileWritingMessageHandler(File destinationDirectory)
  
  Constructor which sets the destinationDirectoryExpression using a LiteralExpression.
  
  Parameters:
  
  destinationDirectory - Must not be null
  
  See Also:
  
  FileWritingMessageHandler(Expression)
- FileWritingMessageHandler
  
  public FileWritingMessageHandler(Expression destinationDirectoryExpression)
  
  Constructor which sets the destinationDirectoryExpression.
  
  Parameters:
  
  destinationDirectoryExpression - Must not be null
  
  See Also:
  
  FileWritingMessageHandler(File)
Method Details
- setAutoCreateDirectory
  
  public void setAutoCreateDirectory(boolean autoCreateDirectory)
  
  Specify whether to create the destination directory automatically if it does not yet exist upon initialization. By default, this value is true. If set to false and the destination directory does not exist, an Exception will be thrown upon initialization.
  
  Parameters:
  
  autoCreateDirectory - true to create the directory if needed.
- setTemporaryFileSuffix
  
  public void setTemporaryFileSuffix(String temporaryFileSuffix)
  
  By default, every file that is in the process of being transferred will appear in the file system with an additional suffix, which by default is ".writing". This can be changed by setting this property.
  
  Parameters:
  
  temporaryFileSuffix - The temporary file suffix.
- setFileExistsMode
  
  public void setFileExistsMode(FileExistsMode fileExistsMode)
  
  Will set the FileExistsMode that specifies what will happen in case the destination exists. For example FileExistsMode.APPEND instructs this handler to append data to the existing file rather then creating a new file for each Message.
  If set to FileExistsMode.APPEND, the adapter will also create a real instance of the LockRegistry to ensure that there is no collisions when multiple threads are writing to the same file.
  Otherwise the LockRegistry is set to PassThruLockRegistry which has no effect.
  With FileExistsMode.REPLACE_IF_MODIFIED, if the file exists, it is only replaced if its last modified timestamp is different to the source; otherwise, the write is ignored. For File payloads, the actual timestamp of the File is compared; for other payloads, the FileHeaders.SET_MODIFIED is compared to the existing file. If the header is missing, or its value is not a Number, the file is always replaced. This mode will typically only make sense if preserveTimestamp is true.
  
  Parameters:
  
  fileExistsMode - Must not be null
  
  See Also:
  
  setPreserveTimestamp(boolean)
- setExpectReply
  
  public void setExpectReply(boolean expectReply)
  
  Specify whether a reply Message is expected. If not, this handler will simply return null for a successful response or throw an Exception for a non-successful response. The default is true.
  
  Parameters:
  
  expectReply - true if a reply is expected.
- setAppendNewLine
  
  public void setAppendNewLine(boolean appendNewLine)
  
  If 'true' will append a new-line after each write. It is 'false' by default.
  
  Parameters:
  
  appendNewLine - true if a new-line should be written to the file after payload is written

  Parameters:
  
  deleteSourceFiles - true to delete the source files.

- setPreserveTimestamp
  
  public void setPreserveTimestamp(boolean preserveTimestamp)
  
  Set to true to preserve the destination file timestamp. If true and the payload is a File, the payload's lastModified time will be transferred to the destination file. For other payloads, the FileHeaders.SET_MODIFIED header "file_setModified" will be used if present and it's a Number.
