xCP2 - getContent from out of application

Hello,

in previous version of xCP (1.6) in TaskSpace application we created simple servlet to get content of specified file.

However deployment of xCP2 is different, I don't know how to do this now.

so is it possible to get content from xCP webapp by any way (stateless process, ...)?

I'm working on applet which will provide controlled print function and it will be called from within xCP app. So applet must get content of specified document.

thanks in advance

No not possible OOTB. There are no services in xcp 2.0 AFAIK to get the content of the file.

Alternately you can create your own controller and get the required content using DFC.

Can you please try with this URL format?

http://server:port/application_name/application/document/roobjjecct_id

Thanks for the link. The link works but only after authentication. If we try the link without authentication, it does not show the login page but throws 401 error - This request requires HTTP authentication.

Hi ,

i hope your issue has been solved already.

you may consider creating a custom controller that has configured user to get the content and forward the stream into Context response.

to avoid this controller to be requested authentication you can update the generated file : applicationContext-security.xml

adding :

<intercept-url pattern="/content/download" access= "permitAll"/> ==> your url http://<server>/appName/content/download require no auth.

to the http security node.

since this file is generated you consider updateing with maven ( i suppose ant-run plugin can do that after generate-source & before package)

I think the config file is also present in src folder of the web app. If we change/modify this file, I believe we dont need any ant-tasks to update the configs.
