Web Script Which Returns a Repository File

brokenindexfing

Hello All,

Maybe this is a stupid question, but I can't find any examples or documentation of how I would write a very simple web script which would just return a single file that is on the repository. I don't want to display a list of files on the repository, or some other widget-like thing, I want to return the file itself in response to the request. Is that possible? If so, could anyone point me in the right direction?

Many thanks,
brokenindex

You don't need to implement a new webscript for this goal.
You can use the DownloadContentServlet to return a file in the response.

You have to perform an HTTP GET request with the following URL:

/alfresco/download/<direct|attach>/<workspace>/<store>/<nodeId>/<filename>‍

More information here:

Hope this helps.

Thanks! That is so helpful. Along the same lines, is there a way to return an HTML file such that it would be loaded by the browser making the request, and now downloaded?

-A

Ah, I get it, you dictate whether the guestDownload file is downloaded or loaded into the browser with the < attach | direct > option.

/alfresco/download/<direct|attach>/<workspace>/<store>/<nodeId>/<filename>

Thanks again.
