What happen when move=null in camel route? - spring

Question

In my Spring Camel app, I try to move or delete a file base on the destinationFolder property. If destinationFolder=null, I want the file to be deleted. If destinationFolder!=null, I want the file to be moved to destinationFolder.
String destinationFolder;
//In the Camel routeBuilder:
from("file://C:/folder1?move=" + destinationFolder)
What will happen in destinationFolder is null? Does the file get move to default location?
When I set destinationFolder=null, I see the file is deleted in folder1.

Answer 1

If you set the move option then the file component will move the file, you cannot set it to null and then have it automatic delete the file. By default the file is moved to a folder named .camel.
So either set delete=true or set move to some folder name to move the files.

Answer 2

First, you should know when to use "move", "delete" &"noop" and how it will works in Apache camel
Note :1) If your destination path is not existed then file will delete automatically.
Note :2) If you are not used "noop=true" in Camel URL then file file will delete(if your destination path is null)

Basic Test Code:
import org.apache.camel.builder.RouteBuilder;
import org.apache.camel.impl.DefaultCamelContext;
public class SFTPTest {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
DefaultCamelContext ctx = null;
try{
ctx = new DefaultCamelContext();
ctx.addRoutes(new RouteBuilder() {
#Override
public void configure() throws Exception {
String filepath = "file:///camelexample/?fileName=test.txt&move=null";
from(filepath)
.log("File processed");
}
});
ctx.start();
Thread.sleep(5000);
ctx.stop();
}catch (Exception e){
System.err.println("Exception is : "+e.getLocalizedMessage());
}finally {
try{
ctx.stop();
}catch (Exception e){
System.err.println("Exception is : "+e.getLocalizedMessage());
}
}
}
}
