Parameter name

type

Info

crlf

string

optional - possible values = WINDOWS,UNIX,MAC, or custom; default value = WINDOWS - allow to define the carriage return character to use. If you specify a value other than the three listed before, the value you enter (custom) will be used as the CRLF character(s)

paddingChar

char

mandatory - default value = ' '

length

int

mandatory = size of the fixed length record

hasHeader

boolean

Camel 2.11 - optional - Indicates that the record(s) of this type may be preceded by a single header record at the beginning of the file / stream

hasFooter

boolean

Camel 2.11 - optional - Indicates that the record(s) of this type may be followed by a single footer record at the end of the file / stream

skipHeader

boolean

Camel 2.11 - optional - Configures the data format to skip marshalling / unmarshalling of the header record. Configure this parameter on the primary record (e.g., not the header or footer).

skipFooter

boolean

Camel 2.11 - optional - Configures the data format to skip marshalling / unmarshalling of the footer record Configure this parameter on the primary record (e.g., not the header or footer)..

isHeader

boolean

Camel 2.11 - optional - Identifies this FixedLengthRecord as a header record

isFooter

boolean

Camel 2.11 - optional - Identifies this FixedLengthRecords as a footer record

ignoreTrailingChars

boolean

Camel 2.11.1, 2.12 - optional - Indicates that characters beyond the last mapped filed can be ignored when unmarshalling / parsing.

 

 

This annotation is associated to the root class of the model and must be declared one time.

*case 7 : Skipping content when parsing a fixed length record. (Camel 2.11.1, 2.12)

It is common to integrate with systems that provide fixed-length records containing more information than needed for the target use case. It is useful in this situation to skip the declaration and parsing of those fields that we do not need. To accomodate this, Bindy will skip forward to the next mapped field within a record if the 'pos' value of the next declared field is beyond the cursor position of the last parsed field. Using absolute 'pos' locations for the fields of interest (instead of ordinal values) causes Bindy to skip content between two fields.

Similarly, it is possible that none of the content beyond some field is of interest. In this case, you can tell Bindy to skip parsing of everything beyond the last mapped field by setting the ignoreTrailingChars property on the @FixedLengthRecord declaration.

Code Block


@FixedLengthRecord(ignoreTrailingChars = true)
public static class Order {

        @DataField(pos = 1, length = 2)
        private int orderNr;

        @DataField(pos = 3, length = 2)
        private String clientNr;

    ... any characters that appear beyond the last mapped field will be ignored

}

5. Message

The Message annotation is used to identified the class of your model who will contain key value pairs fields. This kind of format is used mainly in Financial Exchange Protocol Messages (FIX). Nevertheless, this annotation can be used for any other format where data are identified by keys. The key pair values are separated each other by a separator which can be a special character like a tab delimitor (unicode representation : \u0009) or a start of heading (unicode representation : \u0001)
