Can't save big files on repository using contentWriter.putContent

Hello,I've this piece of code like this in a custom JavaService (simplified in order to get to the point)ublic class CatalogManager extends BaseScopableProcessorExtension {….public void saveFileOnRepositoty(String fileName, File zipfile) { File zipfile = File.createTempFile(fileName, ".zip");

Why are you using a scriptNode from within Java? Use the nodeService or FileFolder service directly. However I don't think that is your problem.

Your exception processing is wrong. In particular you are swallowing concurrency exceptions that may need to be retried.

Hello, thanks for your reply.

Excuse me, why are you saying I'm swallowing the exception? I was just wrapping and re-throwing it as RuntimeException if it occurs.

Anyway, as you suggested, I tried unboxing the Exceptions:

<java>
public class CatalogManager extends BaseScopableProcessorExtension {

….

public void saveFileOnRepositoty(String fileName, File zipfile) throws FileNotFoundException, IOException {
   File zipfile = File.createTempFile(fileName, ".zip");
   …
   InputStream in = new FileInputStream(zipfile);
   ScriptNode node = parentDir.createFile(fileName + ".zip");;
   ContentWriter contentWriter = contentService.getWriter(node.getNodeRef(), ContentModel.PROP_CONTENT, true);
   contentWriter.putContent(in);
   IOUtils.closeQuietly(in);

   String nodeRefResult = "";
   if (node != null) {
      nodeRefResult = node.getNodeRef().toString();
   }
   return nodeRefResult;
}

….

}
</java>

But I've the same behaviour: nothing in the log.
I get back a noderef but when I try to get the node it doesn't exist.

I'm wondering if there is something like a content limit that I've to set in order to create a node with a content bigger than a certain threshold.

No there is no content limit. There may be quota, if set. But if you exceed quota you will get a fairly self explanatory exception to deal with.

What are the details of your statement. "I get back a noderef but when I try to get the node it doesn't exist." You are not using search are you ?

Hi,

once node has been created and method returns I return to the client the parent folder and the noderef of the newly created file.

Browsing the parent folder I don't find the node. Neither programmatically nor - after a while - browsing the repository using explorer or share, nor searching it using the node browser.
