How to pass Endpoint parameter to Endpoint defined as bean in Spring conext

Question

I have camel Fileendpoint defined in following way:

<bean id="hotfolderEndpoint" 
          class="org.apache.camel.component.file.FileEndpoint"
          factory-bean="camel" 
          factory-method="getEndpoint">       
        <constructor-arg ref="hotfolder" />
</bean>

I want to define some File parameters such as preMove, move etc. Variable hotfolder is String taken from JNDI and I have no impact on it. When I define property as

<bean id="moveExp" class="org.apache.camel.model.language.SimpleExpression">
 <property name="expression" value="done/${file:name}"/>
</bean>

it is not correctly parsed and the file get name done/name

Answer 1

preMove is an option on FileEndpoint so you can just let spring IoC it

<bean>
    <property name="preMove" value="done"/>
</bean>

And I believe that you can omit ${file:name} if you just want it moved to a folder. Its already documented at the Camel wiki page http://camel.apache.org/file2.html

BTW: What version of Camel are you using and which OS?

Answer 2

I Case

<camel:camelContext id="camel">
                <camel:route>
                        <camel:from ref="hotfolderEndpoint"/>
                        <camel:to uri="file://c:/test/myfolder/toEnd"></camel:to>
                </camel:route>
        </camel:camelContext>

        <camel:endpoint id="hotfolderEndpoint" camelContextId="camel"
                uri="file://c:/test/hotfolder?move=backup/${date:now:yyyyMMdd}/${file:name}"/>

Result: org.apache.camel.component.file.GenericFileOperationFailedException: Cannot create directory: c:\test\hotfolder\backup\now:yyyyMMdd\name

II Case DSL

from("file://c:/test/myfolder?preMove=inprogress&moveFailed=backup/${date:now:yyyyMMdd}/${file:name}")
                .to("file://c:/test/myfolder/toEnd");

Result preMove works fine (inprogress folder created), but move throws exception: GenericFileOperationFailedException: Cannot rename file: GenericFile[c:\test\hotfolder\xxx.txt] to: GenericFile[backup\20100512]

III Case

<bean id="hotfolderEndpoint"
         class="org.apache.camel.component.file.FileEndpoint"
         factory-bean="camel"
         factory-method="getEndpoint">    
            <constructor-arg ref="hotfolder" />
            <property name="readLock" value="rename" />
            <property name="move" ref="moveExp"/>
    </bean>
    <bean id="moveExp" class="org.apache.camel.model.language.SimpleExpression">
            <property name="expression" value="done/${file:name.noext}-done.${file:ext}"/>
    </bean>

Simlar Problem to Case II

IV Case

<camel:camelContext id="camel">
                <camel:route>
                        <camel:from uri="file://c:/test/hotfolder?move=backup/${date:now:yyyyMMdd}/${file:name}"/>
                        <camel:to uri="file://c:/test/myfolder/toEnd"></camel:to>
                </camel:route>
        </camel:camelContext>

Result: work as expected

Question: Am I doing sth wrong or there is a bug in Camel
