Michael Mathers commented on CAMEL-2058:
----------------------------------------
For the record, I did try my route in 2.1-SNAPSHOT before filing the report.
But apparently I tried it just for {{localWorkDirectory}} and not for
{{tempPrefix}}.
2.1-SNAPSHOT does seem to be fixed for {{tempPrefix}} (although I think I still
found an issue there), but +NOT+ fixed for {{localWorkDirectory}}, an option of
the FTP component.
\\
h3. Issue #1: {{localWorkDirectory}}
In both 2.0 and 2.1snap, this has the following behavior.
# After creating the "inprogress" file, it fails renaming (only makes a single
attempt) to the final name in the working directory.
# After failing rename, it proceeds to consider the message "delivered" and
does not attempt to reconsume the file on the next poll (this seems wrong to
me, but I'm a newbie).
\\
h3. Issue #2: {{tempPrefix}}
You are right this is fixed with CAMEL-1965 as you indicated. _However_, when
using {{tempPrefix}} with the {{fileExist}} option does behave as expected.
Instead, the {{fileExist}} options are applied to the "temp" file and not to
the target file.
|| Option Value || Expected Behavior || Actual Behavior when using
{{tempPrefix}} ||
| {{Override}} (Default) | If the target file exists, overwrite it | Will
overwrite the temp file if it exists but will fail if the target file exists
because the rename operation fails |
| {{Fail}} | Fail the exchange immediately if the target file exists | Will
fail the exchange immediately if the temp file exists. Will not fail
immediately if the target file exists. The exchange still fails ultimately
though due to the failing of the rename operation. |
I did not test {{Append}} or {{Ignore}} values but they probably have similar
problems. Also, I did not test other File component options that could involve
rename operations such as {{readLock:rename}}, {{preMove}}, or {{moveFailed}}.

> Key: CAMEL-2058
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/activemq/browse/CAMEL-2058
> Project: Apache Camel
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: camel-core
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0
> Environment: Sun JDK 1.6_16, Eclipse Gallileo, Spring 2.5, Camel
> 2.0.0, Windows XP SP2, McAfee VirusScan
> Reporter: Michael Mathers
>
> On Windows (don't know if there are other platforms that suffer from this
> problem), the file component fails to successfully rename files with the
> File.renameTo operation. It fails when the rename is performed immediately
> after closing a file. On Windows this usually indicates that some other
> process has the file open. This occurs due to things like Virus scanners
> which keep the file open for very short periods of time. Given a slight
> pause the rename would succeed.
> This is a serious problem which effectively makes useless options like
> "tempPrefix" in the File Producer and "localWorkDirectory" with the FTP
> Consumer. Workarounds like "disable your virus scanner" don't cut it for
> everyone (me specifically) as I'm system privilege restricted from doing so,
> and even then, there's no guarantee that other windows processes might not do
> similar things (file indexers, etc).
> The Java spec doesn't define the behavior of the rename operation and
> specifically says that this can vary from implementation to implementation /
> filesystem to filesystem. Second, rename doesn't say why it fails, it merely
> returns false which is very unhelpful.
> A couple ways to fix:
> 1). Provide an option to disable this optimization. ie, a
> "alwaysCopyInsteadOfRename" or something (clean, simple, easy).
> This would be a simple fix. More or less just a few clauses/tests in
> GenericFileProducer around any "is local" checks....
> 2). Attempt a copy instead if the rename fails
> - maybe after a brief pause
> - maybe even after a number of rename attempts
> - maybe watch to see the file is closed prior to a rename attempt.
> Rename operation failures may affect other things as well like certain
> locking schemes.
