The middleware utility is a standalone application which can be used on its own or in conjunction with Commander4j. It is designed to allow you to translate files between different formats/structures. When you install the software it comes with some example transformations and sample messages to illustrate how it can be used.

For example you can convert a CSV into and XML, and XML into a Plain ASCII file. A CSV into an Excel file and many many other scenarios.

Within the install folder you will find a number of subdirectories, some of which are used for running sample message transformations. Look at the list of sample transformations and use the same files to see what they do. You can then edit the configuration to create your own transformation.

To watch a sample message transformation you can copy a file from the .\samples\input\xx xxxx folder into the .\interface\input\xx xxxx folder.

Providing the interface has been started the sample file will be removed from the input folder and a new file will be created in the .\interface\output\xx xxxx folder.

The user interface shown above is for testing and development purposes. In a production environment the application would run as a background service. The software can be configured to generate emails if an error condition occurs.

The sample config.xml which can be found in the ./xml/config directory contains a number of example transformations.
