Hi, You are right, the current implementation doesn't work with identity and known hosts files from anywhere but the file system. JSch has actually three ways of setting these entities, one with a filename (which camel uses now), one with an InputStream and one with implementations of the Identity and KnownHostsRepository interfaces. Behind the scenes JSch is using the default implementation of these interfaces that are capable of parsing files in the OpenSSH format. My idea was to extend camel in a way that it's also possible to pass objects implementing these interfaces to the endpoint, so you could get your key material from wherever you want (e.g. a database or a file in a different format), however on a second thought this has two disadvantages. 1. The camel component would expose interfaces from the underlying JSch implementation. 2. The default implementation from JSch have private constructors, so we should at least also offer an InputStream interface as we most likely do not want to parse these files ourselves...
Claus: what do you think would be best? Best regards Stephan -----Original Message----- From: javamonkey79 [mailto:javamonke...@gmail.com] Sent: Donnerstag, 20.

What I do know is that jsch is taking the String param passed in via Camel (the fileName param) and turning that in to a File, which I don't think will work with classpath resources? There is a another method in the jsch Util class that loads in by bytes instead - or perhaps camel is not calling the Util class at all, I'm not sure. If someone could point me at the spot where camel hooks the keyfile in to jsch I'd be happy to take a shot at improving it if possible. -- View this message in context: http://camel.465427.n5.nabble.com/camel-sftp-privateKeyFile-load-from-classpath-tp5734394p5734460.html Sent from the Camel - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
