I expected the following Mule (2.1.2) file to move all files in “/path/to/dir1” to “/path/to/dir2“, but it doesn’t work:
<mule
xmlns="http://www.mulesource.org/schema/mule/core/2.1"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:file="http://www.mulesource.org/schema/mule/file/2.1"
xsi:schemaLocation="
http://www.mulesource.org/schema/mule/core/2.1 http://www.mulesource.org/schema/mule/core/2.1/mule.xsd
http://www.mulesource.org/schema/mule/file/2.1 http://www.mulesource.org/schema/mule/file/2.1/mule-file.xsd">
<file:endpoint name="move"
path="/path/to/dir1"
moveToDirectory="/path/to/dir2"/>
<model>
<service name="service name: move file">
<inbound>
<inbound-endpoint ref="move"/>
</inbound>
</service>
</model>
</mule>
Here’s the out of ./mule -config ../conf/test.xml:

[note] I can’t afford to upgrade to later Mule versions just yet.
The files don’t get moved with your configuration because the stream payload that is generated by the inbound file endpoint never gets consumed. It’s the payload consumption that triggers the move.
Simply add:
after your inbound router and files should start moving.
