Blob downloading problem with java automation client

[murataht_]

I am trying to download all the files (txt, html, pdf, doc, xls, ...) from nuxeo. To achieve this, I have found "Java automation client". (Hope I have made a good choice?)

My starting point is the example from the java automation client documentation: http://doc.nuxeo.com/display/public/NXDOC/Java+Automation+Client

1. Getting all the docs:

        Documents docs = (Documents) session.newRequest("Document.Query").set(
    		"query", "SELECT * FROM Document WHERE ecm:primaryType=\'File\' " +
    		"OR ecm:primaryType=\'Note\'").execute();
   

2. With an iteration, get every "doc" from "docs" and get its blob:

        Iterator<Document> it = docs.iterator();
    while (it.hasNext()){
    	Document doc = (Document)it.next();
            String path = doc.getPath();
        	path = URLEncoder.encode(path, "UTF-8");
    	Blob blob = (FileBlob) session.getFile(path);
    	try{
    		InputStream is = blob.getStream();
    		// do something with "is"
    	}catch(Exception e){
    		e.printStackTrace();
    	}
    }
   

But every time, I get the exception:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: Cannot execute {Authorization=Basic QWRtaW5pc3RyYXRvcjpBZG1pbmlzdHJhdG9y}
at org.nuxeo.ecm.automation.client.jaxrs.impl.HttpConnector.execute(HttpConnector.java:122)

... 3 more

I have spent already 2 days on this, and I am making little progress. Please help!!! thanks in advance!!!

Hi,

There are ways to download blobs with Nuxeo automation client:

// Retrieve document note with full schemas - or using Query operation with doc listing
    note = (Document) session.newRequest(DocumentService.FetchDocument).setHeader(
            Constants.HEADER_NX_SCHEMAS, "*").set("value",
            "/path/path").execute();

    PropertyList list = note.getProperties().getList("files:files");

    PropertyMap map = list.getMap(0).getMap("file");
    assertEquals(filename1, map.getString("name"));
    assertEquals("text/xml", map.getString("mime-type"));

    // get the data URL
    String path = map.getString("data");
    blob = (FileBlob) session.getFile(path);

    // the same for the second file
    map = list.getMap(1).getMap("file");
    assertEquals(filename2, map.getString("name"));
    assertEquals("text/xml", map.getString("mime-type"));

    // get the data URL
    path = map.getString("data");
    blob = (FileBlob) session.getFile(path);

You can have several informations on download blobs url pattern here: http://doc.nuxeo.com/display/NXDOC/Downloading+Files

Another way is to use "Blob.Get", "Blob.GetList", "Blob.GetAll" operations. Here an example:

// now test the GetDocumentBlobs operation on the note document
    blobs = (Blobs) session.newRequest(GetDocumentBlobs.ID).setInput(note).set(
            "xpath", "files:files").execute();

We're going to improve the way we can download blobs in general.

Thanks for your feedback.

I tried the two methods. Bun in both methods, the "PropertyMap" I got was always null. So all I got was an exception, at the end.
