DFC reading a file

Question

I am using the DFC to access documentum. I am trying to read a file. I have the r_object_id and I now wish to return the document assoicated with this. How would I do this in java?

Answer 1

assuming you also have a valid session with at least read access to the file:

String docId= getDocId();
IDfSysObject doc = (IDfSysObject)session.getObject(new DfId(docId));
ByteArrayInputStream stream = doc.getContent();

see the javadocs for the return type here for info on how to process the return. Also I've noticed you've been asking quite a few Documentum Foundation Classes questions. depending on the version of the DFCs you are using, you can find the javadocs online at either powerlink or subscribenet and probably answer many of your own questions.
