Hi Yeah better late than newer, we finally got file sorting out-of-the-box on the file component. It had been on my internal TODO list for quite a while but I also wanted to use the oppotunity to give a make over of the internals in the file consumer. The code had some side effects with the timestamp that confuses me and end-users. And some code to detect already processed file that might have changed etc. All stuff that gets complex to use and text and make sure it works. And frankly we didn't have good unit tests to cover these areas.
So as the ticket CAMEL-1112 was requested by an end user I used the fact that the wife was not around so I had time in the weekend only interrupted with the footie on the TV. To spread the word I created a blog entry: http://davsclaus.blogspot.com/2008/12/camel-and-file-sorting.html And have updated the wiki with some samples as well. http://activemq.apache.org/camel/file.html Feel free to review and give feedback so we can iron it out before implementing it on the FTP component as well. /Claus Ibsen Apache Camel Committer Blog: http://davsclaus.blogspot.com/
