Hi All,
We need to expose a web service from Websphere ESB which is capable of consuming a zip file. Can websphere ESB consume and process a zip file through a web service ? if yes, what are the tooling available inside WESB to unzip and process the zip file.? Is there an example that I could refer to ?
Please share your thoughts.
Thanks, V |

| Oddly enough, the Java JAR file format is exactly the same file format as the zip file format. |

| It means that if there is code to unwrap a jar file, you can use the same code to unwrap a zip file. |

I agree, with custom coding we can make it happen.
But my question is, does the product do this out of the box ? well, one of the reasons to go with these type of SOA/ESB tools is to take advantage of the out-of-the box, no coding (or) very less coding approach so we can build integrations quickly. |

Well in that case you should give more details
Meaning, what do you want to do with the zip file?
Do you want to extract it and process each file?
What you want to do with it really helps
FlatFile and FTP adapters are helpful in this regard, but again, it really helps to know what you want to do with it

Ofcourse, but some coding is definitely involved |
