Mule won't allow POLL message processor to rea

Question

I have a small query, POLL message processor not allowing to read Files from 'File Inbound' message processor?

I need to read the file for every 5 minutes (Schedule automatically) to proceed with further requirements. Is it possible using POLL?

How can be file inbound used in POLL. Any suggestions will be helpful.

I recommend you execute this operation using the quartz connector. Here's an example:

<flow name="repeatIntervalFileFlow" doc:name="repeatIntervalFileFlow">
    <quartz:inbound-endpoint responseTimeout="10000" doc:name="Quartz" jobName="test" repeatInterval="300000">
        <quartz:event-generator-job/>
    </quartz:inbound-endpoint>               
    <flow-ref name="readFileFlow" doc:name="readFileFlow"/>        
</flow>

<flow name="readFileFlow" doc:name="readFileFlow">        
    <file:inbound-endpoint path="path" connector-ref="in" doc:name="File">
        <file:filename-wildcard-filter pattern="*.txt" />
    </file:inbound-endpoint>
    <logger message="listo" level="INFO" doc:name="Logger"/>
   ...      
</flow>

I hope to help;
