Switchyard - Dynamic replace of values

[srini8881]

Hi,

I have this weird case.  I am trying to use file component to upload file into a directory, say, fileuploaded.

I have configured this folder name in an external property file and loading the same using ${upload.filename.directory}.

This is working fine.

But now my requirement is that i need to divide them into respective date directories.  Something like: 2013-09-09/fileuploaded/

So I tried do the following inside the directory field: ${date:now:yyyyMMdd}/${upload.filename.directory}

This is not working and the date is getting translated to yyyyMMdd (in other words date is not getting replaced)

I found that this is the issue in all the following component:

File component (directory, premove, move, move failed)

Mail component (from address, to address, subject)

I tried to put the date value inside a header, but still the replacement is not happening.  Is this a known issue or I am doing something wrong?

Any help much appreciated!

Srini.

If you are trying to pass a property to the underlying Camel component, you have to use the "double dollar" syntax of $${date:now:yyyyMMdd} . This prevents the SY config layer from replacing the property and ${date:now:yyyyMMdd} is passed down into the Camel component and interpreted there.

David - I noticed that doc appears to be missing on this here:

Thanks Keith. I've updated both the current docs and the 1.0 docs.

Sweet!  Thanks, David.

Thanks Keith and David.

It is still not working.

Even after having two $, it is not translating into date time.  Instead, it is just returning ${date:now:yyyyMMdd hh:mm:ss}

Thanks
