Hello,
I am hoping someone can help me with getting binary data out of a
jackrabbit repository. I seem to be having some issues with that in an
application I am trying to work with.
I can get data into the system with:
Node root = session.getRootNode();
Node fileNode = root.addNode(file.getOriginalFilename(),
"nt:file");
Node resNode = fileNode.addNode("jcr:content", "nt:resource");
resNode.setProperty("jcr:mimeType", file.getContentType());
resNode.setProperty("jcr:encoding", "");
resNode.setProperty("jcr:data", new
FileInputStream(tempFile.getAbsolutePath()));
Calendar lastModified = Calendar.getInstance();
resNode.setProperty("jcr:lastModified", lastModified);
session.save();
This seems to work fine for getting files into the system and I can
reliably get them out with:
Node mroot = session.getRootNode();
Node root = mroot.getNode("${nodeName}/jcr:content");
response.contentType =
root.getProperty("jcr:mimeType").getString()
response.outputStream <<
root.getProperty("jcr:data").getString()
for any text based files. However, whenever I try to do this with an
image or PDF the file end up corrupted. I assume the last .getString()
is doing bad things (converting my binary to string).
- Am I missing a flag I need to set when sending a file up to the system
that tells it is binary?
- Is jackrabbit doing a base64 serialization/deserialization behinds the
scenes?
- Is there same way to get the raw binary from the jcr:data node?
If it makes any difference this is running in a spring environment and I
am letting spring set things up.
For text, it's all working fine.. just need it to do the same for binary.
Thanks!
Doug
