Reading only headers in an File/FTP Adapter and skipping the payload

Ramkumar Menon
Director, Product Strategy

At times, you might have a requirement where you only need to read the file headers[file name and directory] and ignore the payload while using an inbound file/ftp adapter.



For this purpose, you need to add UseHeaders="true" on the <jca:operation> in the adapter wsdl.



This ensures that the payload is skipped while reading the file.



Then you can follow the usual steps to read the headers [through the inputHeaderVariable on the receive activity to retrieve the headers.

    Hi Ram,
    I just tried out this blog .. I took a file adapter that reads a file and I have added the attribute useheaders to true in the jca operation tag.
    and then connected the receive to the partnerlink..
    The thing is like I am receiving an opaque element not the headers..
    Can you throw some light???
