Writing Files to a Directory

A typical scenario for the File Binding Component as a service provider is writing files to a specific directory. When writing the files, you can also use pattern matching to generate file names. When writing the files, you can specify the following:

• File Type - Text, Binary and XML files are supported.

• Pattern Generation - If the fileNameIsPattern message property is set, then the fileName message property indicates the file name pattern to use when writing the files. Patterns that can be embedded in a file name include an incremental counter, a UUID identifier, or a timestamp.

  Refer to the section Application Variables in File Name Patterns for more information.
