Sample 900: Inbound Endpoint File Protocol Sample (VFS)

Objective: Using the file system as input medium using inbound file listener.

Prerequisites

Start the Axis2 server and deploy the SimpleStockQuoteService if not already done
Create three new directories in a test directory, for example, in, out, original in /home/user/test. Open ESB_HOME/repository/samples/synapse_sample_900.xml and edit the following values. Change transport.vfs.FileURI, transport.vfs.MoveAfterProcess, transport.vfs.MoveAfterFailure parameter values to the above in, original, original directories respectively.
Start the Synapse configuration numbered 900: wso2esb-samples.sh -sn 900
Copy ESB_HOME/repository/samples/resources/vfs/test.xml to the directory given in transport.vfs.FileURI above.

test.xml file content is as follows:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:wsa="http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing">
    <soapenv:Body>
    	<m0:getQuote xmlns:m0="http://services.samples"> 
        	<m0:request>
            	<m0:symbol>IBM</m0:symbol>
            </m0:request>
        </m0:getQuote>
    </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

Inbound polling file listener will pick the file from in directory and send it to the Axis2 service. The request XML file will be moved to process directory.
