WMB Experts,
Here is what I am trying to accomplish, but I am not sure this is doable in WMB. Can some one please help.
Step 1: One of our website receives a PDF files from users as the first step which upload to a File Upload location (may be a FTP Server location or SFTP).
Step 2: Then the users fills out a form with personal details and what that uploaded file contains and the name of the uploaded file.
The website then wants to create a Webservice call to the WMB 7.0 with the metadata collected in the second step. They want the WMB to make sure all the data is present and if present they want to scan the directiory and see the file mentioned in the web serive request is present in the File Upload location. If the file is present route it to various locations based in the content of the request.
MY QUESTION IS: Can a FileInput and FileOutPut Nodes can be used for this. As far as I know, FileInput node is used to scan a particular node and process/move any files present in that location. Do you think we can use to FileInput Node to look for a particular named file in that location??
And if it is there use the FileOutPut Node to move the files otherwise respond back with failure.
Really appreciate any help on this.
Thanks in advance! |

as the Website has the details of the file location why not get the website (probably a bit of PHP or JS) to pick up the file and send it as part of the WebService call to broker?
It would be very easy for the Website code to check the file existence prior to making the call to broker and NOT let the WebService call go ahead unless all the data items were there.
All this Human interaction 'stuff' is (IMHO etc) much better handled by the WebSite.

Every time you reinvent the wheel the more square it gets (anon). If in doubt think and investigate before you ask silly questions. |

You would use a FileRead node, not a FileInput node.
Or you would use a FileInput node that read every file, and stuck it into a database with some basic metadata - like the name of the file and the creation time or etc - and then your webservice flow would scan that, rather than the file system.
But otherwise I agree with smdavies - the webservice call should include the file data directly, not a pointer to it. |
