Re: FTP in response to mail queue message

I got it, I guess.
I've got one file service that watches a folder, with *.xml as a filter. My external process writes to that folder with extension *.tmp. When its done, it sends an email message to a POP3 account which another service monitors. In the body of the message is the file name  with *.tmp extension. The POP3 process evokes a bean that checks that the file exists, is the write size, does some other testing, and if all is well, renames it to *.xml.

The file component then does its thing.
