Using FileIOInteractionSpec Class For Moving File using File Adapter

Question

Hi All,
I am tring to use FileIOInteractionSpec class to move a file from one location to another. The problem is that I am not able to override its properties from BPEL, here is how the FileAdapter.jca file looks like which moves the file from one location to another:
<adapter-config name="MoveFileService" adapter="File Adapter" wsdlLocation="MoveFileService.wsdl" xmlns="http://platform.integration.oracle/blocks/adapter/fw/metadata">
<connection-factory location="eis/FileAdapter"/>
<endpoint-interaction portType="MoveFile_ptt" operation="MoveFile">
<interaction-spec className="oracle.tip.adapter.file.outbound.FileReadInteractionSpec">
<property name="DeleteFile" value="true"/>
<property name="PhysicalDirectory" value="C:\FileRead"/>
<property name="FileName" value="dummy.txt"/>
</interaction-spec>
</endpoint-interaction>
*<endpoint-interaction portType="MoveFile_ptt" operation="Move">*
*<interaction-spec className="oracle.tip.adapter.file.outbound.FileIoInteractionSpec">*
*<property name="Type" value="MOVE"/>*
*<property name="SourcePhysicalDirectory" value="C:\FileRead"/>*
*<property name="SourceFileName" value="dummy.txt"/>*
*<property name="TargetPhysicalDirectory" value="C:\FileRead2"/>*
*<property name="TargetFileName" value="dummyCopy.txt"/>*
*</interaction-spec>*
*</endpoint-interaction>*
</adapter-config>
In the above code, I have hard-coded the values, and it works fine like that.
However, when I try to override these values by defining properies in BPEL invoke's tag, the values are getting passed as null.
Here is the invoke tag code, tried the following 2 combinations:
<invoke name="InvokeFileMove"
inputVariable="InvokeFileMove_MoveFile_InputVariable"
partnerLink="MoveFileService" portType="ns1:MoveFile_ptt"
operation="Move" bpelx:invokeAsDetail="no">
<bpelx:inputProperty name="jca.file.SourcePhysicalDirectory" value="C:\FileRead"/>
<bpelx:inputProperty name="jca.file.SourceFileName" value="dummy.txt"/>
<bpelx:inputProperty name="jca.file.TargetPhysicalDirectory" value="C:\FileRead2"/>
<bpelx:inputProperty name="jca.file.TargetFileName" value="dummyCopy.txt"/>
</invoke>
And
<invoke name="InvokeFileMove"
inputVariable="InvokeFileMove_MoveFile_InputVariable"
partnerLink="MoveFileService" portType="ns1:MoveFile_ptt"
operation="Move" bpelx:invokeAsDetail="no">
<bpelx:inputProperty name="SourcePhysicalDirectory" value="C:\FileRead"/>
<bpelx:inputProperty name="SourceFileName" value="dummy.txt"/>
<bpelx:inputProperty name="TargetPhysicalDirectory" value="C:\FileRead2"/>
<bpelx:inputProperty name="TargetFileName" value="dummyCopy.txt"/>
</invoke>
These four properties are not visible in Invoke -> Properties tab as well.
Could you please suggest how can I override the jca's values for FileIOInteractionSpec class?

Answer 1

I have successfully used this API and it works fine.
Try to use variables which contains values like "dummyCopy.txt" etc.
Here is what I used :
<bpelx:inputProperty name="jca.file.SourceDirectory"
variable="inputDirectory"/>
<bpelx:inputProperty name="jca.file.SourceFileName"
variable="inputFileName"/>
<bpelx:inputProperty name="jca.file.TargetDirectory"
variable="destinationDirectory"/>
<bpelx:inputProperty name="jca.file.TargetFileName"
variable="inputFileName"/>
Pass approppriate values into the above given variables and try.
Hopefully it should work.
Let us know, how it goes !
