Automate File Classification with Apache Camel



We usually download several files to the Downloads folder, you might find various files in diverse formats like MP3, PDF, docs, srt , MP4 etc.Then you start moving the files from download folder to other folders, which can be very tiresome and monotonous task.

 In this post i am gonna show how to shift all your files from Downloads folder to respective folder, by using a simple Apache Camel route.

 Apache Camel is a rule-based routing and mediation engine that provides a Java object-based implementation of the Enterprise Integration Patterns using an API (or declarative Java Domain Specific Language) to configure routing and mediation rules.

 Lets first create a simple Spring Boot maven project

 Create a maven project and include spring Boot and Apache Camel dependencies.



Now create the Spring Boot main file as

Next, we add a class with the Camel routes.This routes will be started automatically.


 To keep the main thread blocked so that Camel stays up, add camel.springboot.main-run-controller=true to the application.properties

Run this Program in ide or in a console and you will see all your files are sorted.

Hope you liked the post!

Interfaces just got much better in Java 8

                             We all know that Interface contains methods and variables, but the methods declared in an interface are by default abstract (only method signature nobody).If a class is implementing an interface it must provide method implementation of the methods in the interface, otherwise, the class must be declared as abstract. Now imagine a situation where you want to add a new method to an interface later.Modifying one interface breaks all classes that implement the interface.which means adding a single method can break millions of lines of code. In order to address this problem, Java8 introduced "Default Method" or Defender methods, which allows the user to enter a new method in the interface without breaking existing implementation of these interfaces.It provides flexibility to allow Interface define implementation which will use as default in the situation where a concrete Class fails to provide an implementation for that method. Let's under
