Basic Example using FILE

Connector in Anypoint Studio

Prudhvi

Introduction The File connector allows your Mule

application to exchange files with a file system. You can implement the File connector as an inbound endpoint or as an outbound endpoint.

This endpoint implements a one-way exchange pattern only.

Configuring File Connector

Prudhvi

In File Connector Connection Configuring

Note: Auto Delete is optional

Prudhvi

Set the PATH . If the file is needed set MOVE TO DIRECTORY also.

Set your required polling frequency and age

Prudhvi

In Flow: Configuring the 1st Logger

To know what is coming ,we are printing the payload.

Prudhvi

Configuring Transformer

No need to configure in this flow as the flow is sending a plain text.We need to configure the MIME Type as Text/Plain .

2nd Logger

Prudhvi

Here to print the payload.Here the payload will be the characters in text file as we are converting byte to string by using transformer.

Prudhvi

Text File

After running the application , Place this file in the path defined .The application will poll the file as per the polling frequency.
