Claus, by the way, your comment let to an 'aha' moment - the kind that Manning talk about :) Being new to Camel, I hadn't realised the implications of the documentation for File Component’s 'move' property (the implication being that I can write my own code to calculate the file name): > move: Expression (such as File Language) used to dynamically set the filename > when moving it after processing. Note that a later sentence on the same page seems to contract that I can use this to calculate the file name: > The move and preMove options should be a directory name, which can be either > relative or absolute. Anyway, your suggestion to use a bean prompted me to drill down (→ http://camel.apache.org/expression → http://camel.apache.org/bean-language) and realise that I can always implement an expression or predicate as a method in my own bean class. For what it’s worth, I don’t yet see how I would discover that my bean must have a 'calculateFileName' method - whether Camel will pick this method because it's the only one, or whether it has to have that name, for example. I’ll save that for another day. Thanks again, Peter
