DFS get content Issue

rreddy

Hello All,

I have a question regarding retrieving content using DFS getAsFile() method

Here is my basic use case:

1. Get content from repository using r_object_id. This content is of pdf format

2. The content should be of type java.io.file to use by my java webapplication

I tried the following

      Content content = dataPackage.getDataObjects().get(0).getContents().get(0);

       File file = content.getAsFile();

However I am not able to retrieve the physical file object. I see a file called ~dfs123132123.tmp file in the C:\Users\"User Name"\AppData\Local\Temp directory, but it gets deleted immediately after program execution.

Why does this file deleted?How do I save the file being returned into a file object that I can perform java file io operations on?

I am able to successfully retrieve content using URLContent and writing it to a java output stream.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks
