Attaching Documents

[lbds]

I am attempting to call the rest-api to attach a text document to a workflow task.  Currently, I am allowing the user to select a file to upload at which point I attempt to call the attachments rest-api for that task.  My question is how I get the file itself loaded into ACT_GE_BYTEARRAY (I believe that is where the file is stored).  Any help would be useful as I'm having difficulties understanding the documentation.

You can use the TaskService createAttachment method for that.

To get the content back out, you can use taskService.getAttachmentContent(..). In REST, you can use:


GET runtime/tasks/{taskId}/attachment/{attachmentId}/content

It will be streamed back in the mime-type it was uploaded with…

Is there a way to call the rest-api to attach the documents or do I have to use the use the TaskService createAttachment method? 

Thanks!
