Problems to get file content

dacedos — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 12:30:44 GMT

Alfresco behaves oddly when I try to get file contents from java.I want to sign a PDF with iText but I need to get the file content from the repository before. If I upload a file within Company_Home/departamentos it doesn't work, alfresco can't locate the file and itext returns a PDF not found Excep

2 things to confirm …

1. Are you looking at the right noderef?
2. Is Constants.PROP_NAME the same as ContentModel.PROP_NAME? Best to use ContentModel.PROP_NAME if possible.

What is the result of the "path" output?

thanks!

Noderef is the same in both cases because I print on screen and they point to the same alfresco uses to browse content.

About Constant.PROP_NAME … Alfresco built the string

public static final String NAMESPACE_CONTENT_MODEL  = "http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0";
public static final String PROP_NAME =              createQNameString(NAMESPACE_CONTENT_MODEL, "name");

    public static String createQNameString(String namespace, String name)
    {
        return "{" + namespace + "}" + name;
    }‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I think Constant.PROP_NAME is also ContentModel.PROP_NAME.

I finally chose readind the property "content" (QName.createQName("{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}content")) and get the file Alfresco stores in the local disk. What kind of problems can this solution cause?
