Message Split

Question

Hi all,
I am doing a File Split scenario, requirement is to group a set of  items coming
From a source file into messages .
File to flat file scenario source file is having n items requirement is to split this file after  every 500 items not using BPM.
As of now  I am able to generate as many files as the number of items but the
Requirement is to group atleast 500 items in one message because the target system
Can nt take that big file .
Is this scenario feasible in Message mapping ??
Regards,

Hi,
You can achieve this using UDFs(queue type).
Create the following UDF and map the parent node as
item ---> UDF -
> parent node
input: a
int len = (int) Math.ceil(a.length/500.0);
for(int i=0; i<len; i++){
     result.addValue("constant");
Then create a second UDF and map the child element.
item ---> UDF -
> child
input: a
for(int j=0; j<a.length; j++){
     if(j%500 == 0 && j != 0)
          result.addValue(ResultList.CC);
     result.addValue(a[j]);
