Create directories?

[playerjamesbattleground]

Hi Dirk,

One of our use case is when sending files to network share via smb, if the path/to/file doesn't exists, it should create directories in flight.

Eg. sending to smb://host/a/b/c/d/xyz.json, but in the remote drive there is only /a/b, then c/d should be created dynamically.

I found this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24527045/how-to-create-directories-using-samba-client from the answer it seems just add checks whenever doing new SmbFile() and call mkdir if path to file is n/a, is it possible you could update this?

Thanks very much

James

to be more specific, it should be mkdirs in case folders from parent path also need to be created.

I found maybe here is where the line should be added? https://github.com/dirk-olmes/mule-transport-cifs/blob/master/src/main/java/org/mule/transport/cifs/SmbConnector.java#L171

here is the snippet that I've done as a walkaround:

//SMBConnector.java

...

SmbFile smbFile;
        SmbFile smbDir;
        try
        {
            String filename = getFilename(endpoint, event);
            EndpointURI uri = endpoint.getEndpointURI();

            if (checkNullOrBlank(uri.getUser()) || checkNullOrBlank(uri.getPassword()))
            {
                logger.warn("No user or password supplied. Attempting to connect with just smb://<host>/<path>");
                logger.info("smb://" + uri.getHost() + uri.getPath() + "/" + filename);
                smbFile = new SmbFile("smb://" + uri.getHost() + uri.getPath() + filename);
                smbDir = new SmbFile("smb://" + uri.getHost() + uri.getPath());
            }
            else
            {
                logger.info("smb://" + uri.getUser() + ":<password hidden>@" + uri.getHost() + uri.getPath() + filename);

                String url = "smb://" + uri.getUser() + ":" + uri.getPassword() + "@" + uri.getHost() + uri.getPath() + filename;
                smbFile = new SmbFile(url);
                smbDir = new SmbFile("smb://" + uri.getUser() + ":" + uri.getPassword() + "@" + uri.getHost() + uri.getPath());
            }
            if (!smbDir.exists()) {
                logger.info("making path to file: "+smbDir.getPath()+" isDirectory "+smbDir.isDirectory());
                smbDir.mkdirs();
            }

            if (!smbFile.exists())
            {

                smbFile.createNewFile();
            }

Thanks Dirk, very quick response and I agree the createIntermediateDir should be an optional choice to most of users
