File adapter become second step in the ccBPM (filename base on the input)

Question

Hi XI Expert,
Could you help to advise me, what i should o with this scenario :
i have ccBPM scenario :
1. monitoring database table (using JDBC adapter), query filepath information and update
    status accordingly after process.
2. read xml file (name and path base on the first step).
my problem is how to pass filepath and filename to file adapter, becase as i know file adapter (sender) only
can monitoring fix directory and file (patter).
Thank you
Fernand
