XMLP Bursting - Naming files that are generated

Question

Hi,
We are using XMLP 5.6.2 burstingEngine process to generate output pdfs using single input xml(generated in batch mode) data file and rtf template.
We are generating the output files to filesystem using the following attribute
in control xml file.
<xapi:filesystem output="/tmp">
Now the output pdfs are stored with some series of sequence numbers as
fielname. _0 , _1 etc..
But we want the output pdfs name with the request element of request attribute.
TRX_NUMBER element within the G_INVOICE group.
In the above the G_INVOICE is the group which bursts into multiple output files
and we need the output pdf stored with trx_number as file name.
Please let us know , if there is a solution for this. This is really critical for us to move ahead and use the bursting engine process.

Answer 1

Is there any standard solution for this? The ideal way would to get control over the XML Data that is being used to generate this file.
I just tried the following and it works. Register a BurstingListener and rename the output files in afterProcessDocument method of the listener. Not sure if this is documented anywhere and if it's a supported way to change the filenames.
// Sample code....
public void afterProcessDocument(int requestIndex, int documentIndex,
Vector documentOutputs) {
String outFileName = (String)documentOutputs.get(0);
File newFile;
File oldFile = new File(outFileName);
newFile = new File(oldFile.getParent() + File.separator + "FileName" + oldFile.getName());
oldFile.renameTo(newFile);
documentOutputs.remove(0);
documentOutputs.add(0, newFile.getPath());
// Add static attachments that should go with all the emails
// documentOutputs.add(0, "/home/staticAttachment.pdf");
To get dynamic filenames we may have to pre-fetch the data to be included in the filename and use it based on the sequence.
