Problem description
SACOM is an electronic retailer that has multiple online and physical stores. SACOM needs a
middleware application that can integrate the existing different ordering systems with the
suppliers of electronic products.
SACOM customers place product orders from various locations and systems and these orders
need to be processed and sent to the corresponding suppliers.
The orders are sent as XML files on a central server, where your application needs to process
them and create the XML files that will be sent to the suppliers. Following is a system overview
diagram:

Each XML file that contains orders will be processed into multiple XML files, one file per each
supplier. The supplier output file will contain all the suppliers products from one orders file,
sorted descendant by the timestamp when the order was created and product price. Each
product that will be sent to the supplier must also contain the order ID, so that it will be easily
tracked to the original order.

The application will wait for the orders files in one folder and will export the supplier files in a
separate folder. Once a file that contains orders is received in the specific folder, the application
will process it, and then it will wait for another orders file to process.
Once a customer places an order, he expects it to be delivered as soon as possible, so you
must focus on the application XML files processing performance in order to keep the customers
happy.

Orders input file


The orders file name pattern is orders##.xml, where ## are digits. For example orders01.xml is
a valid name and ordersss.xml is not. The structure of one XML file that contains orders is the
following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<orders>
<order created='2012-07-12T15:29:33.000' ID='2343'>

</orders>

Supplier output file


The suppliers file name pattern is suppliername##.xml, where ## are the digits from the orders
xml file processed. For example, after processing the orders23.xml that contains suppliers
Apple, Sony and Panasonic, the program must create the suppliers files with the following
names: Apple23.xml, Sony23.xml and Panasonic23.xml. The structure of one supplier XML file
is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Sample files
After processing input file orders23.xml, the application must create three suppliers files:
Apple23.xml, Panasonic23.xml and Sony23.xml. Following is the sample file content for
reference.
