Switchyard sortBy for File Consumer

[stonesoft]

Does anyone have an example of a switchyard.xml where there is a sortBy (like camel) so the consumer gets the oldest files first?

Out of curiosity, have you tried using the existing sortBy element in the file binding config?  I can prepare an example, but figured I would ask in case you already tried that and hit an issue.

No I haven't tried the sortBy in fhe file binding config.  In fact I don't know what the file binding config is!  I'll google it and I hope I find something.  I'll let you know.

Each binding type in SwitchYard has a schema which defines the structure of its configuration model.  For file bindings, you can see the options here:

https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/SWITCHYARD/File

The value range and behavior of these settings are identical to the Camel file component since we just create a Camel endpoint URI underneath the covers based on the binding config:

http://camel.apache.org/file2

Using one of our quickstarts which uses file binding as an example:

https://github.com/jboss-switchyard/quickstarts/tree/master/camel-binding

I would expect something like this to work:

<file:binding.file xmlns:file="urn:switchyard-component-camel-file:config:1.0">
    <file:directory>target/input</file:directory>
    <file:fileName>test.txt</file:fileName>
    <file:consume>
        <file:initialDelay>10</file:initialDelay>
        <file:delay>10</file:delay>
        <file:delete>true</file:delete>
        <file:sortBy>file:modified</file:sortBy>
    </file:consume>
</file:binding.file>

Thats exactly what I wanted.  I looked at my switchyard.xml and found the file binding but I hadn't actually added the sortBy before I read your email.  Added it and everything seems to work as expected.  Thanks
