The Intray transport monitors a file system directory for the addition of new files. (This directory acts like an office "In Tray" of work to be done.) When the transport detects a file-add event, it create a request and injects this as a root request into its fulcrum module.

Architecturally the InTray transport can be used as a work flow event handler.

Configuration

The InTray transport must be hosted in a fulcrum module. This can be done by adding the following to a module's module.xml configuration resource:

The InTray transport will request its configuration from the resource ffcpl:/etc/TransportIntrayConfig.xml. The configuration resource uses the following XML:

element	description
in	Operating system dependent file path specification for the input directory. The user under which NetKernel is running must have read priviledges for this directory.
out	Operating system dependent file path specification for the output directory. The user under which NetKernel is running must have write priviledges for this directory.
processURI	URI requested when the InTray transport detects a file-add event. The file URI is provided as the param argument.
pollInterval	Time in milliseconds between times when the InTray transport polls the input directory.

Examples

Simple File Copy

The simplest example copies a file that is added to the input directory to the output directory. This can be done with the following DPML program:

XSL-FO Distiller

This distiller will accept a document with XSL-FO source information and convert it into a PDF document.
