TestFileAttachment
Contents
Description
This example shows how to use GreenVulcano® ESB to send an email containing attachments.
TestFileAttachment service executes the following operations:
- Reads a file from an input directory (TestAttach/input)
- Sends an email with this file as attachment
- Moves the sent file to another directory (TestAttach/sent)
VulCon Configuration
To configure TestFileAttachment service follow these steps:
- Define the System, Channel and Operations required
- Define the Services
- Implement the flows.
Defining System, Channel and Operations
To define a System, go to VulCon core view and, into Systems element, insert the System GVESB if it is not already present. From there create the Channel TEST_CHANNEL_FILE in which the following operations will be configured:
Attribute/Subelement | Value |
---|---|
name | ScanAttachments
FileCommands:
|
Attribute/Subelement | Value |
---|---|
name | MoveAttachments
FileCommands:
|
Attribute | Value |
---|---|
jndi-name | gvesb.mailServer |
name | SendEmail |
mail-message | content-type="text-html" high-priority="true" sender-display-name="GV ESB" subject="Test send attachments"
|
Flow implementation
Now we are able to use the Wizard.
- From the Core View of VulCon. Right click the element Services -> Wizard New Service
- A new window will be open where you can set the name of the Service you want to create, in this case we name it TOUPPER, and as Group, we use TEST_GROUP. You can also select the communication paradigm, for this example it will be synchronous-synchronous. Click next.
- Set System as GVESB_TEST and Channel as TEST_CHANNEL. Then choose the Operation, in this case test. Then finish.
As you can see from the core view, inside the Services element, a new Service named TOUPPER has been created. The editor will be opened automatically, showing the nodes involved in our Flow.
- The Start node sets the flow first node. In this case request
- The Operation node request calls the test-service-call operation test and executes it.
- A Check node named check_status is also inserted for controlling the success of the preceding node.
- If success flow passes to the End node return_status
- In case of Error, flow goes to the End node return_error. The difference with return_status is signed by the Connection with check_status Check node. In this case an Error Connection (the Red arrow) have been used.
- Save clicking the Save icon from the Core View
To implement the TestFileAttachment service Flow design it as shown in the picture:
The service looks for the file presence in a directory, sends it as attachment and moves it into another directory.
The following table shows the nodes and attributes to be defined:
Attribute/Subelement | Value |
---|---|
first-node | Prepare |
Conditions/GVBufferCondition | condition="FilesFound" type="condition"
Property:
|
GVOperationNode | dump-in-out="false" id="list_files" id-system="GVESB" input="input" next-node-id="check_files" op-type="call" operation-name="ScanAttachments" output="files" |
GVNodeCheck | default-id="end-nofiles" id="check_files" input="files" on-exception-id="end" GVRouting:
|
ChangeGVBufferNode | dump-in-out="true" id="prepare" input="files" next-node-id="send_email" output="files" ChangeGVBuffer: clear-data="false"
|
GVOperationNode | dump-in-out="false" id="send_email" id-system="GVESB" input="files" next-node-id="move_files" operation-name="SendEmail" output="files" |
GVOperationNode | dump-in-out="false" id="move_files" id-system="GVESB" input="files" next-node-id="end" operation-name="MoveAttachments" output="files" |
GVEndNode | end-business-process="yes" id="end-nofiles" output="files" |
GVEndNode | end-business-process="yes" id="end" output="files" |
Save the editor clicking on the Save icon of Eclipse. Control that there are not errors in the flow and save it in the apposite icon present in the Core View of VulCon®. From the Project view, expand your project, refresh (f5), and right clicking the folder "conf" export your new configuration.
GV Console Configuration
It is time to deploy and test your new Service. To do that execute the following steps:
Suppose you have saved the VulCon Configuration file as "$GV_HOME/TEST/REPG1.zip". To deploy the new Service follow this steps:
- Start GreenVulcano® ESB
- Access to the GV Console.
- In the Deploy New Service section click Browse and select the file where you saved the VulCon configuration.
- `Click Submit.
The section Deploy Services will be open. In this section you can select the services you want to deploy.
- Clicking on service TestFileAttachment a new view will be showed containing the files GVCore.xml present in local and on server side.
- Click Deploy. Now you can save the document and write some notes about it.
- Save the Document. By saving you will return to the Deploy Service section.
Now pass to the GV Console section Utility.
- Click on Reload configuration
- Select GVCore.xml and then Reload. A new windows will be open to confirm the operation
- Click OK.
Go to the GV Console section Testing. In this section you can finally test your new services:
- Into the Service voice select TestFileAttachment
- Into the System voice select GVESB
- Click RequestReply
The Testing View will be expanded and it is also possible to view the GVBuffer Output panel where there are present some properties, among these the GVFM_FOUND_FILES_NUM property set to 3, representing the number of files found.
The file TestOutput.txt will be generated in the directory $GV_HOME/log as previously set (see Testing, Data input area) containing information about the files found and the email already sent.

Set a new account with the properties:
Server SMTP/POP3
- SMTP : localhost:3025
- POP3: localhost:3110
- Server mailbox: gv1@gv.com (gv1/gv1)
- Client mailbox: gv2@gv.com (gv2/gv2)
gv3@gv.com (gv3/gv3)
You will receive an email as this shown in the picture.
You can also check that the files were moved into the directory $GV_HOME/TEST/TESTFS/TestAttach/sent.
