Re: How to upload a file to the process from a service task?

Not sure what you mean by "upload".

Are you talking about uploading from a user browser?

Or are you talking about creating the file in a filesystem available to the process server?

Or are you talking about sending the file to an ECM system?

If you have created a file using a javaDelegate then I assume the file resides on the process sever somewhere.

If that's the case, why would you want to upload it. You would be better served putting it somewhere that can be retrieved via a rest call and simply tracking the URL for the file.

Then when you need to display it, you can reference the URL to open a window, download or preview the document.

If you are using 1.6.1, then the contentService bean is what you need to use, unfortunately it is not documented so you get to crawl the source.

I've been investigating how the ootb GenerateDocumentTask works, and I've prepare the following code, but always get the following error on the function "relatedContentService.createRelatedContent".
