JavaScript Writer

This destination connector executes a custom user-defined JavaScript script. This can be used in a wide variety of ways, such as calling out to external Java libraries or invoking a local OS shell script. You can return custom values that determine what response data to store, and what status to put the destination connector message into. Or simply use the script as a generic job that doesn't necessarily produce responses. For example, you can use tools like ChannelUtil to programmatically start/stop/deploy channels from within the script.

Document Writer

This destination connector takes an HTML template and converts it into either a PDF or RTF document. Custom embedded stylesheets are supported. That document can then be written out to a file and/or stored as a message attachment. The page size can be specified, and for PDFs you can also encrypt the document with a password. Supported property groups: Destination Settings Item Name Default Value Description A Output File Choose how to output the document. File: Write the contents to a file. Attachment: Write the contents to an attachment. The destination's response message will contain the attachment Id and can be used in subsequent connectors to include the attachment. Both: Write the contents to both a file and an attachment. B Directory The directory (folder) where the generated file should be written. Use the Test Write button to confirm that files can be written to the folder. C File Name The file name to give to the generated file. D Document Type PDF The type of document to be c

JMS Sender

This destination connector connects to an external JMS provider and writes messages to a queue or topic. It supports both JNDI and specifying a specific connection factory. Once this connector dispatches a message, the connection to the JMS provider will be kept open and cached until the connector is stopped or an error occurs. The properties view also includes a mechanism to save configuration templates for common provider types, so that creating a new JMS Sender is as quick and easy as possible. Note: Depending on the JMS connection provider you are using, you may need to include some external libraries (JARs) as a Library Resource and include them using the Set Dependencies dialog on the Channel Summary tab. For example, to use connection templates included for ActiveMQ and JBoss, you should download the libraries from their official site in order to use them with the JMS connectors.

File Writer

This destination connector writes files out to the local filesystem, or to a remote directory. Several protocols are supported, including regular local file mode, FTP, SFTP, SMB, WebDAV, and Amazon S3. Files may be converted from Base64 and written out in raw binary format, or converted to bytes using a specific character set encoding. Additional options (like FTPS) are available with the SSL Manager extension. Supported property groups: Destination Settings Item Name Default Value Description A Method file The basic method used to access the directory to write files to. Options include File (local filesystem or NFS / mapped share), FTP, SFTP, SMB, WebDAV, or Amazon S3. Once all necessary connection/directory information has been filled in before, use the Test Write button to attempt to actually connect and test the ability to write to the directory. B Advanced Options If the file method supports advanced options, this button will be enabled. Any advanced options set will be summarized

Web Service Sender

This destination connector connects to a SOAP endpoint via JAX-WS and invokes a defined operation. When configuring this connector you can automatically fetch the WSDL from the remote server, and all the services / endpoints / operations will be filled out and modifiable from drop-down menus. Automatic generation of a sample SOAP envelope is supported too. Custom headers and MTOM attachments can be added to each request as well. Supported property groups: Destination Settings Item Name Default Value Description A WSDL URL The URL to the WSDL describing the web service and available operations. Select Get Operations after entering the WSDL to automatically fill out the Service, Port, Location URI, and available Operations. B Service The service name for the WSDL defined above. This field is filled in automatically when the Get Operations button is selected and does not usually need to be changed, unless multiple services are defined in the WSDL. C Port / Endpoint The port / endpoint nam

Database Reader

This Database Reader connects to an external database, performs a query, and reads selected rows into messages that get dispatched to the channel. This can be done using a SQL statement, or by using JavaScript mode to perform the query manually. The database connection will automatically be kept open across multiple polling windows, unless otherwise specified. This connector also supports a Post-Process section where an update statement can be performed after each row is read in, for example to set a processed flag in the source table. The values selected from the query will be automatically converted into an XML document where each column will be a separate node. That XML document is what actually gets dispatched to the channel as a message. Supported property groups: Polling Settings Source Settings Item Name Default Value Description A Driver Specifies the type of database driver to use to connect to the database. The following values are supported by default: Sun JDBC-ODBC Bridge M
