DotCMIS content update writing first byte only

lordzoster — Mon, 10 Mar 2014 21:32:42 GMT

HalloI'm trying to update a document content using DotCMIS and C#, but the content is getting the first byte only.I followed an example I found over the net (here) and matching it with Apache CMIS documentation written in Java (here).In any way I'm getting a file with the first character only, eg. "

Can't help you with th c# bits. But
a) can you specify the content encoding anywhere? In particular in the contentstream. I'm wondering if the default will be some windows charset.

B) There's equivalent string to byte conversion methods in java that do not specify charset. They are a menace and a frequent source of bugs and should be avoided ( for methods that do specify the charset)

C) the length of your variable bytes is dodgy. UTF8 is 1 to 4 bytes per char.

And your mimetype is wrong. Should be "text/plain"

Hallo thank you, the problem was actually encoding.
I solved using System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(string) that, along with "charset=UTF-8", gave the correct results.

Why is "application/msword" wrong mimetype for creating a word binary file?
Actually the file now gets created correctly, and when viewed offline is OK, but Alfresco states it cannot preview the file content.
In my project I'm going to programmatically create a in-memory DOCX using OpenXML SDK and then upload it to Alfresco via CMIS.
How else could I upload/create (if not exists) a binary file like this?
