SpringXD - It is possible to scan different dirs via File source?

I've these dirs

|- Dad Dir
     |--- Son Dir 1
             |---- file1.txt
             |---- file2.txt
     |--- Son Dir 2
             |---- file3.txt

it is possibile with a single stream, using the File Source, extrapolate the contents of file*.txt for example, giving in the input Dad Dir

Solution

  • Not with the standard source, but you can customize the source to use a WatchServiceDirectoryScanner (java 7 or later) or RecursiveLeafOnlyDirectoryScanner which is not recommended for large directory trees.

    See the Spring Integration Reference Manual for information about configuring the file inbound channel adapter. Use the scanner attribute on the adapter.
