Must File component write the body?

[Tim Dudgeon]

When using the File component to write to a file is it always the
message body that is written, or is it possible to use an expression
(e.g. simple)?
Of course body can be replaced with new content using an expression, but
is that the only way to do this?

Yes, you can use wireTap with an expression to set the body which taps
to the file endpoint. Then you can write without changing the original
exchange.

Or just use a bean and write the file content yourself.
