Likewise when writing a file, you can use this option to specify which charset to write the file as well. Do mind that when writing the file Camel may have to read the message content into memory to be able to convert the data into the configured charset, so do not use this if you have big messages.")

The expression options support both String and Expression types. If the expression is a String type, it is always evaluated using the File Language. If the expression is an Expression type, the specified Expression type is used - this allows you, for instance, to use OGNL expressions. For the consumer, you can use it to filter filenames, so you can for instance consume today\'s file using the File Language syntax: mydata-${date:now:yyyyMMdd}.txt. The producers support the CamelOverruleFileName header which takes precedence over any existing CamelFileName header; the CamelOverruleFileName is a header that is used only once, and makes it easier as this avoids to temporary store CamelFileName and have to restore it afterwards.")

The option eagerDeleteTargetFile can be used to control what to do if an moving the file, and there exists already an existing file, otherwise causing the move operation to fail. The Move option will move any existing files, before writing the target file.<p/>  - TryRename is only applicable if tempFileName option is in use.

This option is not available for the FTP component - changed - Changed is using file length/modification timestamp to detect whether the file is currently being copied or not.

public void setPreSort(boolean preSort)
```
 When pre-sort is enabled then the consumer will sort the file and directory names during polling, that was retrieved from the file system. You may want to do this in case you need to operate on the files in a sorted order. The pre-sort is executed before the consumer starts to filter, and accept files to process by Camel. This option is default=false meaning disabled.
- isDelete

```
 If true, the file will be deleted after it is processed successfully.
- isFlatten
```
public boolean isFlatten()
```
- setFlatten
```
public void setFlatten(boolean flatten)
```
 Flatten is used to flatten the file name path to strip any leading paths, so it's just the file name. This allows you to consume recursively into sub-directories, but when you eg write the files to another directory they will be written in a single directory. Setting this to true on the producer enforces that any file name in CamelFileName header will be stripped for any leading paths.

```
public void setMoveExisting(org.apache.camel.Expression moveExisting)
```
 Expression (such as File Language) used to compute file name to use when fileExist=Move is configured. To move files into a backup subdirectory just enter backup. This option only supports the following File Language tokens: "file:name", "file:name.ext", "file:name.noext", "file:onlyname", "file:onlyname.noext", "file:ext", and "file:parent". Notice the "file:parent" is not supported by the FTP component, as the FTP component can only move any existing files to a relative directory based on current dir as base.

```
- getFileName
```
public org.apache.camel.Expression getFileName()
```
- setFileName
```
public void setFileName(org.apache.camel.Expression fileName)
```
 Use Expression such as File Language to dynamically set the filename. For consumers, it's used as a filename filter. For producers, it's used to evaluate the filename to write. If an expression is set, it take precedence over the CamelFileName header. (Note: The header itself can also be an Expression). The expression options support both String and Expression types. If the expression is a String type, it is always evaluated using the File Language. If the expression is an Expression type, the specified Expression type is used - this allows you, for instance, to use OGNL expressions. For the consumer, you can use it to filter filenames, so you can for instance consume today's file using the File Language syntax: mydata-${date:now:yyyyMMdd}.txt. The producers support the CamelOverruleFileName header which takes precedence over any existing CamelFileName header; the CamelOverruleFileName is a header that is used only once, and makes it easier as this avoids to temporary store CamelFileName and have to restore it afterwards.

public void setFileName(String fileLanguageExpression)
```
- getDoneFileName
```
public String getDoneFileName()
```
- setDoneFileName
```
public void setDoneFileName(String doneFileName)
```
 Producer: If provided, then Camel will write a 2nd done file when the original file has been written. The done file will be empty. This option configures what file name to use. Either you can specify a fixed name. Or you can use dynamic placeholders. The done file will always be written in the same folder as the original file.
 Consumer: If provided, Camel will only consume files if a done file exists. This option configures what file name to use. Either you can specify a fixed name. Or you can use dynamic placeholders.The done file is always expected in the same folder as the original file.
 Only ${file.name} and ${file.name.noext} is supported as dynamic placeholders.
- isIdempotent
```
public Boolean isIdempotent()
```
- getCharset
```
public String getCharset()
```
- setCharset
```
public void setCharset(String charset)
```
 This option is used to specify the encoding of the file. You can use this on the consumer, to specify the encodings of the files, which allow Camel to know the charset it should load the file content in case the file content is being accessed. Likewise when writing a file, you can use this option to specify which charset to write the file as well. Do mind that when writing the file Camel may have to read the message content into memory to be able to convert the data into the configured charset, so do not use this if you have big messages.
- isIdempotentSet
```
protected boolean isIdempotentSet()
```
- getIdempotent
```
public Boolean getIdempotent()
```
- setIdempotent
```
public void setIdempotent(Boolean idempotent)
```
 Option to use the Idempotent Consumer EIP pattern to let Camel skip already processed files. Will by default use a memory based LRUCache that holds 1000 entries. If noop=true then idempotent will be enabled as well to avoid consuming the same files over and over again.
- getIdempotentKey
```
public org.apache.camel.Expression getIdempotentKey()
```
- setIdempotentKey
```
public void setIdempotentKey(org.apache.camel.Expression idempotentKey)
```
 To use a custom idempotent key. By default the absolute path of the file is used. You can use the File Language, for example to use the file name and file size, you can do: idempotentKey=${file:name}-${file:size}
- setIdempotentKey
```
public void setIdempotentKey(String expression)
```
- getIdempotentRepository
```
public org.apache.camel.spi.IdempotentRepository getIdempotentRepository()
```
- setIdempotentRepository
```
public void setIdempotentRepository(org.apache.camel.spi.IdempotentRepository idempotentRepository)
```
 A pluggable repository org.apache.camel.spi.IdempotentRepository which by default use MemoryMessageIdRepository if none is specified and idempotent is true.
- getFilter
```
public GenericFileFilter<T> getFilter()
```
- setFilter
```
public void setFilter(GenericFileFilter<T> filter)
```
 Pluggable filter as a org.apache.camel.component.file.GenericFileFilter class. Will skip files if filter returns false in its accept() method.
- getSorter
```
public Comparator<GenericFile<T>> getSorter()
```
- setSorter
```
public void setSorter(Comparator<GenericFile<T>> sorter)
```
 Pluggable sorter as a java.util.Comparator class.
- getSortBy
```
public Comparator<org.apache.camel.Exchange> getSortBy()
```
- setSortBy
```
public void setSortBy(Comparator<org.apache.camel.Exchange> sortBy)
```
 Built-in sort by using the File Language. Supports nested sorts, so you can have a sort by file name and as a 2nd group sort by modified date.
- setSortBy
```
public void setSortBy(String expression)
```
- setSortBy
```
public void setSortBy(String expression,
 boolean reverse)
```
- isShuffle
```
public boolean isShuffle()
```
- setShuffle
```
public void setShuffle(boolean shuffle)
```
 To shuffle the list of files (sort in random order)
- getTempPrefix
```
public String getTempPrefix()
```
- setTempPrefix
```
public void setTempPrefix(String tempPrefix)
```
 This option is used to write the file using a temporary name and then, after the write is complete, rename it to the real name. Can be used to identify files being written and also avoid consumers (not using exclusive read locks) reading in progress files. Is often used by FTP when uploading big files.
- getTempFileName
```
public org.apache.camel.Expression getTempFileName()
```
- setTempFileName
```
public void setTempFileName(org.apache.camel.Expression tempFileName)
```
 The same as tempPrefix option but offering a more fine grained control on the naming of the temporary filename as it uses the File Language. The location for tempFilename is relative to the final file location in the option 'fileName', not the target directory in the base uri. For example if option fileName includes a directory prefix: dir/finalFilename then tempFileName is relative to that subdirectory dir.
- setTempFileName
```
public void setTempFileName(String tempFileNameExpression)
```
- isEagerDeleteTargetFile
```
public boolean isEagerDeleteTargetFile()
```
- setEagerDeleteTargetFile
```
public void setEagerDeleteTargetFile(boolean eagerDeleteTargetFile)
```
 Whether or not to eagerly delete any existing target file. This option only applies when you use fileExists=Override and the tempFileName option as well. You can use this to disable (set it to false) deleting the target file before the temp file is written. For example you may write big files and want the target file to exists during the temp file is being written. This ensure the target file is only deleted until the very last moment, just before the temp file is being renamed to the target filename. This option is also used to control whether to delete any existing files when fileExist=Move is enabled, and an existing file exists. If this option copyAndDeleteOnRenameFails false, then an exception will be thrown if an existing file existed, if its true, then the existing file is deleted before the move operation.
- getConfiguration

- getExclusiveReadLockStrategy
```
public GenericFileExclusiveReadLockStrategy<T> getExclusiveReadLockStrategy()
```
- setExclusiveReadLockStrategy
```
public void setExclusiveReadLockStrategy(GenericFileExclusiveReadLockStrategy<T> exclusiveReadLockStrategy)
```
 Pluggable read-lock as a org.apache.camel.component.file.GenericFileExclusiveReadLockStrategy implementation.
- getReadLock
```
public String getReadLock()
```
- setReadLock
```
public void setReadLock(String readLock)
```
 Used by consumer, to only poll the files if it has exclusive read-lock on the file (i.e. the file is not in-progress or being written). Camel will wait until the file lock is granted. This option provides the build in strategies:\n\n - none - No read lock is in use\n - markerFile - Camel creates a marker file (fileName.camelLock) and then holds a lock on it. This option is not available for the FTP component\n - changed - Changed is using file length/modification timestamp to detect whether the file is currently being copied or not. Will at least use 1 sec to determine this, so this option cannot consume files as fast as the others, but can be more reliable as the JDK IO API cannot always determine whether a file is currently being used by another process. The option readLockCheckInterval can be used to set the check frequency.\n - fileLock - is for using java.nio.channels.FileLock. This option is not avail for Windows OS and the FTP component. This approach should be avoided when accessing a remote file system via a mount/share unless that file system supports distributed file locks.\n - rename - rename is for using a try to rename the file as a test if we can get exclusive read-lock.\n - idempotent - (only for file component) idempotent is for using a idempotentRepository as the read-lock. This allows to use read locks that supports clustering if the idempotent repository implementation supports that.\n - idempotent-changed - (only for file component) idempotent-changed is for using a idempotentRepository and changed as the combined read-lock. This allows to use read locks that supports clustering if the idempotent repository implementation supports that.\n - idempotent-rename - (only for file component) idempotent-rename is for using a idempotentRepository and rename as the combined read-lock. This allows to use read locks that supports clustering if the idempotent repository implementation supports that.\n \nNotice: The various read locks is not all suited to work in clustered mode, where concurrent consumers on different nodes is competing for the same files on a shared file system. The markerFile using a close to atomic operation to create the empty marker file, but its not guaranteed to work in a cluster. The fileLock may work better but then the file system need to support distributed file locks, and so on. Using the idempotent read lock can support clustering if the idempotent repository supports clustering, such as Hazelcast Component or Infinispan.
- getReadLockCheckInterval
```
public long getReadLockCheckInterval()
```
- setReadLockCheckInterval
```
public void setReadLockCheckInterval(long readLockCheckInterval)
```
 Interval in millis for the read-lock, if supported by the read lock. This interval is used for sleeping between attempts to acquire the read lock. For example when using the changed read lock, you can set a higher interval period to cater for slow writes. The default of 1 sec. may be too fast if the producer is very slow writing the file.
 Notice: For FTP the default readLockCheckInterval is 5000.
 The readLockTimeout value must be higher than readLockCheckInterval, but a rule of thumb is to have a timeout that is at least 2 or more times higher than the readLockCheckInterval. This is needed to ensure that amble time is allowed for the read lock process to try to grab the lock before the timeout was hit.
- getReadLockTimeout
```
public long getReadLockTimeout()
```
- setReadLockTimeout
```
public void setReadLockTimeout(long readLockTimeout)
```
 Optional timeout in millis for the read-lock, if supported by the read-lock. If the read-lock could not be granted and the timeout triggered, then Camel will skip the file. At next poll Camel, will try the file again, and this time maybe the read-lock could be granted. Use a value of 0 or lower to indicate forever. Currently fileLock, changed and rename support the timeout.
 Notice: For FTP the default readLockTimeout value is 20000 instead of 10000.
 The readLockTimeout value must be higher than readLockCheckInterval, but a rule of thumb is to have a timeout that is at least 2 or more times higher than the readLockCheckInterval. This is needed to ensure that amble time is allowed for the read lock process to try to grab the lock before the timeout was hit.
- isReadLockMarkerFile
```
public boolean isReadLockMarkerFile()
```
- setReadLockMarkerFile
```
public void setReadLockMarkerFile(boolean readLockMarkerFile)
```
 Whether to use marker file with the changed, rename, or exclusive read lock types. By default a marker file is used as well to guard against other processes picking up the same files. This behavior can be turned off by setting this option to false. For example if you do not want to write marker files to the file systems by the Camel application.
- isReadLockDeleteOrphanLockFiles
```
public boolean isReadLockDeleteOrphanLockFiles()
```
- setReadLockDeleteOrphanLockFiles
```
public void setReadLockDeleteOrphanLockFiles(boolean readLockDeleteOrphanLockFiles)
```
 Whether or not read lock with marker files should upon startup delete any orphan read lock files, which may have been left on the file system, if Camel was not properly shutdown (such as a JVM crash).
 If turning this option to false then any orphaned lock file will cause Camel to not attempt to pickup that file, this could also be due another node is concurrently reading files from the same shared directory.
- getReadLockLoggingLevel
```
public org.apache.camel.LoggingLevel getReadLockLoggingLevel()
```
- setReadLockLoggingLevel
```
public void setReadLockLoggingLevel(org.apache.camel.LoggingLevel readLockLoggingLevel)
```
 Logging level used when a read lock could not be acquired. By default a DEBUG is logged. You can change this level, for example to OFF to not have any logging. This option is only applicable for readLock of types: changed, fileLock, idempotent, idempotent-changed, idempotent-rename, rename.
- getReadLockMinLength
```
public long getReadLockMinLength()
```
- setReadLockMinLength
```
public void setReadLockMinLength(long readLockMinLength)
```
 This option is applied only for readLock=changed. It allows you to configure a minimum file length. By default Camel expects the file to contain data, and thus the default value is 1. You can set this option to zero, to allow consuming zero-length files.
- getReadLockMinAge
```
public long getReadLockMinAge()
```
- setReadLockMinAge
```
public void setReadLockMinAge(long readLockMinAge)
```
 This option is applied only for readLock=changed. It allows to specify a minimum age the file must be before attempting to acquire the read lock. For example use readLockMinAge=300s to require the file is at last 5 minutes old. This can speedup the changed read lock as it will only attempt to acquire files which are at least that given age.
- isReadLockRemoveOnRollback
```
public boolean isReadLockRemoveOnRollback()
```
- setReadLockRemoveOnRollback
```
public void setReadLockRemoveOnRollback(boolean readLockRemoveOnRollback)
```
 This option is applied only for readLock=idempotent. It allows to specify whether to remove the file name entry from the idempotent repository when processing the file failed and a rollback happens. If this option is false, then the file name entry is confirmed (as if the file did a commit).
- isReadLockRemoveOnCommit
```
public boolean isReadLockRemoveOnCommit()
```
- setReadLockRemoveOnCommit
```
public void setReadLockRemoveOnCommit(boolean readLockRemoveOnCommit)
```
 This option is applied only for readLock=idempotent. It allows to specify whether to remove the file name entry from the idempotent repository when processing the file is succeeded and a commit happens.
 By default the file is not removed which ensures that any race-condition do not occur so another active node may attempt to grab the file. Instead the idempotent repository may support eviction strategies that you can configure to evict the file name entry after X minutes - this ensures no problems with race conditions.
 See more details at the readLockIdempotentReleaseDelay option.
- getReadLockIdempotentReleaseDelay
```
public int getReadLockIdempotentReleaseDelay()
```
- setReadLockIdempotentReleaseDelay
```
public void setReadLockIdempotentReleaseDelay(int readLockIdempotentReleaseDelay)
```
 Whether to delay the release task for a period of millis.
 This can be used to delay the release tasks to expand the window when a file is regarded as read-locked, in an active/active cluster scenario with a shared idempotent repository, to ensure other nodes cannot potentially scan and acquire the same file, due to race-conditions. By expanding the time-window of the release tasks helps prevents these situations. Note delaying is only needed if you have configured readLockRemoveOnCommit to true.
- isReadLockIdempotentReleaseAsync
```
public boolean isReadLockIdempotentReleaseAsync()
```
- setReadLockIdempotentReleaseAsync
```
public void setReadLockIdempotentReleaseAsync(boolean readLockIdempotentReleaseAsync)
```
 Whether the delayed release task should be synchronous or asynchronous.
 See more details at the readLockIdempotentReleaseDelay option.
- getReadLockIdempotentReleaseAsyncPoolSize
```
public int getReadLockIdempotentReleaseAsyncPoolSize()
```
- setReadLockIdempotentReleaseAsyncPoolSize
```
public void setReadLockIdempotentReleaseAsyncPoolSize(int readLockIdempotentReleaseAsyncPoolSize)
```
 The number of threads in the scheduled thread pool when using asynchronous release tasks. Using a default of 1 core threads should be sufficient in almost all use-cases, only set this to a higher value if either updating the idempotent repository is slow, or there are a lot of files to process. This option is not in-use if you use a shared thread pool by configuring the readLockIdempotentReleaseExecutorService option.
 See more details at the readLockIdempotentReleaseDelay option.
- getReadLockIdempotentReleaseExecutorService
```
public ScheduledExecutorService getReadLockIdempotentReleaseExecutorService()
```
- setReadLockIdempotentReleaseExecutorService
```
public void setReadLockIdempotentReleaseExecutorService(ScheduledExecutorService readLockIdempotentReleaseExecutorService)
```
 To use a custom and shared thread pool for asynchronous release tasks.
 See more details at the readLockIdempotentReleaseDelay option.
- getBufferSize
```
public int getBufferSize()
```
- setBufferSize
```
public void setBufferSize(int bufferSize)
```
 Buffer size in bytes used for writing files (or in case of FTP for downloading and uploading files).
- getFileExist
```
public GenericFileExist getFileExist()
```
- setFileExist
```
public void setFileExist(GenericFileExist fileExist)
```
 What to do if a file already exists with the same name. Override, which is the default, replaces the existing file. \n\n - Append - adds content to the existing file.\n - Fail - throws a GenericFileOperationException, indicating that there is already an existing file.\n - Ignore - silently ignores the problem and does not override the existing file, but assumes everything is okay.\n - Move - option requires to use the moveExisting option to be configured as well. The option eagerDeleteTargetFile can be used to control what to do if an moving the file, and there exists already an existing file, otherwise causing the move operation to fail. The Move option will move any existing files, before writing the target file.\n - TryRename is only applicable if tempFileName option is in use. This allows to try renaming the file from the temporary name to the actual name, without doing any exists check. This check may be faster on some file systems and especially FTP servers.
- isAutoCreate
```
public boolean isAutoCreate()
```
- setAutoCreate
```
public void setAutoCreate(boolean autoCreate)
```
 Automatically create missing directories in the file's pathname. For the file consumer, that means creating the starting directory. For the file producer, it means the directory the files should be written to.
- getProcessStrategy
```
public GenericFileProcessStrategy<T> getProcessStrategy()
```
- setProcessStrategy
```
public void setProcessStrategy(GenericFileProcessStrategy<T> processStrategy)
```
 A pluggable org.apache.camel.component.file.GenericFileProcessStrategy allowing you to implement your own readLock option or similar. Can also be used when special conditions must be met before a file can be consumed, such as a special ready file exists. If this option is set then the readLock option does not apply.
- getLocalWorkDirectory
```
public String getLocalWorkDirectory()
```
- setLocalWorkDirectory
```
public void setLocalWorkDirectory(String localWorkDirectory)
```
 When consuming, a local work directory can be used to store the remote file content directly in local files, to avoid loading the content into memory. This is beneficial, if you consume a very big remote file and thus can conserve memory.
- getMaxMessagesPerPoll
```
public int getMaxMessagesPerPoll()
```
- setMaxMessagesPerPoll
```
public void setMaxMessagesPerPoll(int maxMessagesPerPoll)
```
 To define a maximum messages to gather per poll. By default no maximum is set. Can be used to set a limit of e.g. 1000 to avoid when starting up the server that there are thousands of files. Set a value of 0 or negative to disabled it. Notice: If this option is in use then the File and FTP components will limit before any sorting. For example if you have 100000 files and use maxMessagesPerPoll=500, then only the first 500 files will be picked up, and then sorted. You can use the eagerMaxMessagesPerPoll option and set this to false to allow to scan all files first and then sort afterwards.
- isEagerMaxMessagesPerPoll
```
public boolean isEagerMaxMessagesPerPoll()
```
- setEagerMaxMessagesPerPoll
```
public void setEagerMaxMessagesPerPoll(boolean eagerMaxMessagesPerPoll)
```
 Allows for controlling whether the limit from maxMessagesPerPoll is eager or not. If eager then the limit is during the scanning of files. Where as false would scan all files, and then perform sorting. Setting this option to false allows for sorting all files first, and then limit the poll. Mind that this requires a higher memory usage as all file details are in memory to perform the sorting.
- getMaxDepth
```
public int getMaxDepth()
```
- setMaxDepth
```
public void setMaxDepth(int maxDepth)
```
 The maximum depth to traverse when recursively processing a directory.
- getMinDepth
```
public int getMinDepth()
```
- setMinDepth
```
public void setMinDepth(int minDepth)
```
 The minimum depth to start processing when recursively processing a directory. Using minDepth=1 means the base directory. Using minDepth=2 means the first sub directory.
- getInProgressRepository
```
public org.apache.camel.spi.IdempotentRepository getInProgressRepository()
```
- setInProgressRepository
```
public void setInProgressRepository(org.apache.camel.spi.IdempotentRepository inProgressRepository)
```
 A pluggable in-progress repository org.apache.camel.spi.IdempotentRepository. The in-progress repository is used to account the current in progress files being consumed. By default a memory based repository is used.
- isKeepLastModified
```
public boolean isKeepLastModified()
```
- setKeepLastModified
```
public void setKeepLastModified(boolean keepLastModified)
```
 Will keep the last modified timestamp from the source file (if any). Will use the Exchange.FILE_LAST_MODIFIED header to located the timestamp. This header can contain either a java.util.Date or long with the timestamp. If the timestamp exists and the option is enabled it will set this timestamp on the written file. Note: This option only applies to the file producer. You cannot use this option with any of the ftp producers.
- isAllowNullBody
```
public boolean isAllowNullBody()
```
- setAllowNullBody
```
public void setAllowNullBody(boolean allowNullBody)
```
 Used to specify if a null body is allowed during file writing. If set to true then an empty file will be created, when set to false, and attempting to send a null body to the file component, a GenericFileWriteException of 'Cannot write null body to file.' will be thrown. If the `fileExist` option is set to 'Override', then the file will be truncated, and if set to `append` the file will remain unchanged.
- isJailStartingDirectory
```
public boolean isJailStartingDirectory()
```
- setJailStartingDirectory
```
public void setJailStartingDirectory(boolean jailStartingDirectory)
```
 Used for jailing (restricting) writing files to the starting directory (and sub) only. This is enabled by default to not allow Camel to write files to outside directories (to be more secured out of the box). You can turn this off to allow writing files to directories outside the starting directory, such as parent or root folders.
- getAppendChars
```
public String getAppendChars()
```
- setAppendChars
```
public void setAppendChars(String appendChars)
```
 Used to append characters (text) after writing files. This can for example be used to add new lines or other separators when writing and appending to existing files.
 To specify new-line (slash-n or slash-r) or tab (slash-t) characters then escape with an extra slash, eg slash-slash-n
- getOnCompletionExceptionHandler
```
public org.apache.camel.spi.ExceptionHandler getOnCompletionExceptionHandler()
```
- setOnCompletionExceptionHandler
```
public void setOnCompletionExceptionHandler(org.apache.camel.spi.ExceptionHandler onCompletionExceptionHandler)
```
 To use a custom ExceptionHandler to handle any thrown exceptions that happens during the file on completion process where the consumer does either a commit or rollback. The default implementation will log any exception at WARN level and ignore.
- configureMessage
```
public void configureMessage(GenericFile<T> file,
 org.apache.camel.Message message)
```
 Configures the given message with the file which sets the body to the file object.
