Hello,

How can I get that reference?

The goal is to keep a unique string that will be used after to get the document and convert it to a base64 stream.

I tried this but I got an error: unable to get content as inputstream.

However, both the length and the mimetype of the document are, as it seems, retrieved with success.

            // Use the content service to figure out the URL
            Content readResult[] = contentService.read(new Predicate(new Reference[] {
                new Reference(storeRef, doc_uudi, null)
            }, storeRef, null), Constants.PROP_CONTENT);

            content = readResult[0];

            logger.debug("length: " + content.getLength());

            logger.debug("Mimetype: " + content.getFormat().getMimetype());


           InputStream in = ContentUtils.getContentAsInputStream(content);
