Hi In Camel 2.0 we have refactored the File component to leverage a VFS within Camel itself (common code/interface is named GenericFileXXX)
As the file component is used extensivly within Camel itself and to test all camel components it would be great if we could give it a test drive on various OS before making the change permanent. So if you have the time then please test it as: 1) You can change to use NewFileComponent by: Change these lines: class=org.apache.camel.component.file.FileComponent strategy.factory.class=org.apache.camel.component.file.strategy.FileProcessStrategyFactory To: class=org.apache.camel.component.file.NewFileComponent strategy.factory.class=org.apache.camel.component.file.strategy.NewFileProcessStrategyFactory In the file: src/main/resources/META-INF/services/org/apache/camel/component/file 2) Run tests in camel-core, camel-spring, camel-ftp, or if you have the time the full package :) mvn clean install For a period of time we will have both file components in Camel 2.0 (the old and the new) side by side. The idea is to keep the old in case something was overlooked and we can switch back for comparison. When everything works and is rock solid then we will remove the old one and make the new the default one. After this test and if it goes well, then we will switch to use the NewFileComponent in Camel trunk code and run with it for a while, and give TeamCity its chance to run extensivly test with it. But before that I would love to iron out any obscure issues on other platforms, than what I use (Mac OS) -- Claus Ibsen Apache Camel Committer Open Source Integration: http://fusesource.com Blog: http://davsclaus.blogspot.com/
