How to download file from content-media link through REST client

Hello,

I have a requirement to download the file directly from Documentum using content-media REST API link. I had tested it through browser and it download the file. However, when GET call is made to the content-media REST API, it is returning ByteArray as response.

Is there a way to get file object as a response instead of ByteArray, since the REST invoker wants to receive file as a response and not ByteArray.

Any inputs on how to send file object in a REST response is highly appreciated.

Thanks.

I'm not sure I'm following you. What kind of REST client are you using? A JAX-RS implementation such as Jersey or CXF or are you using a plain HTTP client? When you get the URL you can download it using for example HttpURLConnection and you get an InputStream as a response which you can easily save to a file of that's what you want.

Hello bacham3,

I am using Documentum REST services 7.2 and tried using OOTB content-media link to get the content from the Documentum repository. Through browser, it returns the file. However, through REST clients it is giving ByteArray as response.

My need here is to get file as response when invoked through REST client

Thanks.
