File Adapter , Data type ?

[Former Member]

Hi Friends,

I am working on file adapter ,I am picking file from one folder and placing it into another folder. For this I had not used IR, I had configured in ID alone for this purpose with dummy interface name.

Now I want to use some java mapping for encoding file to BASE64, So I need to configure IR, but I am really confused how to configure IR in case when we are using file adapter. I mean, if we want to use java mappaing ,we have to specify in IR under mapping program ,type as JAVA CLASS , and that mapping is between some source and target message.

So my question is , for using java mapping for file adapter what should be the data type of source and target message.? Or is it possible to use java mapping without data type also.

Thanks...

Hi,

You can use an Adapter module to encode the payload.

Please refer the below blog:

My Question is which data type should I use..for that

[Shabarish_Nair]

if its java mapping, just create a DT with any structure as you wish.

ex.

DT_Dummy
 |__ Dummy_field

java mapping does not validate the xml against the DT you created
