perform asynchronous file transfer with edtFTPj ?

Question

I have to develop an application where customers send files (by upload) to a branch of our company in a city X.
After control on files (about the format, the structure according to specification produced), the application in city X must send files to the main branch in a city Y.
There is an ftp server in the main branch in city Y.
What i want is to use edtFTPj to send (or get) files to (or from) the ftp server.
I want to set up an asynchronous file ftp which allow the application to perform other tasks. do you understand me?
is it possible with edtFTPj to perform asynchronous file transfer? how?

Answer 1

Directly no - this is functionality we are considering adding.

However it should be easy to do using a separate FTP thread.

Thank u for the qucik reply.
it's a j2ee application using the framework struts (mvc 2 model)?
i don't know if is suitable with a ftp thread?
can u give me more details about implementation.

Mmm. Depending on what you are doing I'd perhaps consider using edtFTPj in a message driven bean to meet your asynchronous requirements.

excuse me i am new bie in j2ee envirement ( with java in general).
We are not using EJB in our application.
i was thing using a job to perform the file transfer by scheduling it at a certain time of the day.
I want you to give differents ways i can use to implement the stuff with the more precisions posible.
thanks for your disposal

Sorry, we can only answer FTP questions here - we don't have the resources to offer advice on software design.
