AntFlow builds upon Apache Ant to provide a new
approach to simplifying system automation that
uses pipelines of hot folders chained together to
perform a given task. Using XML, it associates an
automated task such as data transfer, encryption,
or XML processing with a directory on the local
system. Whenever a file is copied or written into
the hot folder, the associated task is executed
and the file is moved to the next hot folder in
the pipeline for further processing.
