Creating a Simple Synchronous File Reader

Hello, everyone!

Here I will show you create a very simple synchronous file reader inside your Mule flow.

You just need to add these lines of code in your Java component class, which will enable you to read a file in between the flow.

I hope this helps!

package org.rahul.util;

import java.io.File;

import org.mule.api.MuleEventContext;
import org.mule.api.lifecycle.Callable;

public class SynchronousFileReader implements Callable {

    public File getFileContent(String fileLocation)
    {
        File file = new File(fileLocation);
        return file;
    }

    @Override
    public Object onCall(MuleEventContext eventContext) throws Exception {

        String filepath = eventContext.getMessage().getInvocationProperty("filepath");
        File file = getFileContent(filepath);
        return file;
    }
}

Sample usage:

<component class="org.rahul.util.SynchronousFileReader" doc:name="Java"/>
        <!-- File as Binary -->
        <file:file-to-byte-array-transformer doc:name="File to Byte Array" mimeType="binary/octet-stream"/>

Use transformers like File-to-String or File-to-Byte-Array as you require after using this Java component.
