Why Message Object does not represent file content?

[taslimanka]

Hi all,

I am a newbie on talend ESB.

I'm trying to get the content of files put in the source folder. And for that, I typed in the following expression.

System.out.println("File content: "+exchange.getIn().getBody()); 

Unfortunately it doesn't print the file I put content's.

Example: when I put a text file containing "lorem ipsum" , I am expecting to print that content to the output console but instead I get printed to the console GenericFile[C:\rep1\Finish.log] (see image below)

So I want to figure out why Message object doesn't represent the file content.

Thanx!

Hi ,@mohamed sylla​ ,

maybe you can try :

System.out.println("File content: "+ new String((byte[]) exchange.getIn().getBody())); 

let me know if it's working.

Send me love and Kudos

it seem you can use the getFile()method of org.apache.camel.component.file.GenericFile to get the file,

then you have to read his content

with common io package for example

String data = FileUtils.readFileToString(your file, "UTF-8");
