File Listener Functionality

[walkermic]

Does snapLogic provide any sort of file listener functionality to start a pipeline?

The FileListener should be something like JMSConsumer. The FileListener processes a file only once. The processed files need to be deleted or moved out. This is very important. The FilePoller just polls the folder. Each time the polling result is the same.

Indeed, the poller should only be outputting a document if the file changed since the last time it was seen. I’ll follow up on that.

Any updates on this? I’ve coded file poll/read/archive/delete functionality using File Poller/Reader/Operation snaps, but it’s more of a pain than I would like. It would be nice if it were an atomic operation like JMSConsumer or a typical JCA-style file connector.
