one way could be to not use idempotent and implement a filter that return true

Yes, maybe, but that means you need to stat the remote file first, not download it. AFAIK its completely different process to what I'm currently trying to do.
Maybe it can be made to.


On other could be to implement your own 
org.apache.camel.spi.IdempotentRepository object that would delegate to one of 
the current Memory or File based one, but overrides the contains(key) to return 
false for any given entry that is already present (processed) but which 
'modification date' is after your 'water mark'.
Sounds better. The IdempotentRepository would need to handle modification time and file size as well to do this properly, and the interface doesn't support this:
http://camel.apache.org/maven/current/camel-core/apidocs/org/apache/camel/spi/IdempotentRepository.html
as it only takes a single param, and that's the file path. How does file size and modification time get passed?

It seems I'm being really stupid here, but it feels like I'm trying to re-invent a wheel that's been invented before plenty of times.

Hi, I'm new to Camel, so please excuse my ignorance.
I'm wanting to set up mirroring of files on a FTP server, so that whenever
new files appear, or old files get changed, they get copied to the local
mirror, and maybe some processing performed on them.

I've worked out the basics of how to use the FTP and File components, and am
now wondering how to actually set this up to do what I want. I got the
idempotentRepository working (using a FileIdempotentRepository) to make sure
that files are only processed once, but then realised that this isn't going to 
allow updated files to be re-fetched.

Is there an already baked approach to doing this, or do I need to cook my
own?
