I have a lot of shapefiles with the classification in the name of the shapefile and not as an attribute. How can I create an attribute containing the name of the shapefile?

You can expose "fme_basename" that stores the file name except extension in the reader feature type properties dialog | Format Attributes tab.

This one.
