FXP Service

Microservice that transfers a file between two servers, triggered by RabbitMQ messages.

Synopsis

The File eXchange Protocol (FXP) is a method of data transfer which uses FTP to transfer data from one remote server to another (inter-server) without routing this data through the client's connection.

Deployment/Installation

Maven

You can compile or build the FXP service using either compile assembly:single or package (which includes the compile assembly:single).

mvn package creates the same 'fat' jar as mvn clean compile assembly:single. Build the project using one of the two following:

• mvn clean compile assembly:single
• mvn clean package

Once built, the artifact can be deployed to the nexus, assuming credentials for the VIAA repo are set up correctly:

• mvn deploy

Consult the mvn deploy documentation.

Prerequisites

• Maven
