I have a 'small' problem. In a database documents contain a richtextfield. The richtextfield contains a profile picture of a certain contact. The problem is that this content is not saved as mime and therefore I can not calculate the url of the image.
I'm using a pojo to retrieve data from the person profile and use this in my xpage control to display its contents. I need to build a convert agent which takes the content of the richtextitem and converts it to mime to be able to calculate the url something like
http://host/database.nsf/($users)/D40FE4181F2B86CCC12579AB0047BD22/Photo/M2?OpenElement
Could someone help me with converting the contents of the richtextitem to mime? When I check for embedded objects in the rt field there are none. When I get the content of the field as stream and save it to a new richtext field using the following code. But the new field is not created somehow.
System.out.println("check if document contains a field with name "+fieldName);
if(!doc.hasItem(fieldName)){
throw new PictureConvertException("Could not locate richtextitem with name"+fieldName);
}
RichTextItem pictureField = (RichTextItem) doc.getFirstItem(fieldName);
System.out.println("Its a richtextfield..");
System.out.println("Copy field to backup field");
if(doc.hasItem("old_"+fieldName)){
doc.removeItem("old_"+fieldName);
}
pictureField.copyItemToDocument(doc, "old_"+fieldName);
// Vector embeddedPictures = pictureField.getEmbeddedObjects();
// System.out.println(doc.hasEmbedded());
// System.out.println("Retrieved embedded objects");
// if(embeddedPictures.isEmpty()){
// throw new PictureConvertException("No embedded objects could be found.");
// }
//
// EmbeddedObject photo = (EmbeddedObject) embeddedPictures.get(0);
System.out.println("Create inputstream");
//s.setConvertMime(false);
InputStream iStream = pictureField.getInputStream();
System.out.println("Create notesstream");
Stream nStream = s.createStream();
nStream.setContents(iStream);
System.out.println("Create mime entity");
MIMEEntity mEntity = doc.createMIMEEntity("PictureTest");
MIMEHeader cdheader = mEntity.createHeader("Content-Disposition");
System.out.println("Set header withfilename picture.gif");
cdheader.setHeaderVal("attachment;filename=picture.gif");
System.out.println("Setcontent type header");
MIMEHeader cidheader = mEntity.createHeader("Content-ID");
cidheader.setHeaderVal("picture.gif");
System.out.println("Set content from stream");
mEntity.setContentFromBytes(nStream, "application/gif", mEntity.ENC_IDENTITY_BINARY);
System.out.println("Save document..");
doc.save();
//s.setConvertMime(true);
System.out.println("Done");
// Clean up if we are done..
//doc.removeItem(fieldName);
Its been a little while now and I didn't go down the route of converting existing data to mime. I could not get it to work and after some more research it seemed to be unnecessary. Because the issue is about displaying images bound to a richtextbox I did some research on how to compute the url for an image and I came up with the following lines of code:
function getImageURL(doc:NotesDocument, strRTItem,strFileType){
if(doc!=null && !"".equals(strRTItem)){
var rtItem = doc.getFirstItem(strRTItem);
if(rtItem!=null){
var personelDB = doc.getParentDatabase();
var dbURL = getDBUrl(personelDB);
var imageURL:java.lang.StringBuffer = new java.lang.StringBuffer(dbURL);
if("file".equals(strFileType)){
var embeddedObjects:java.util.Vector = rtItem.getEmbeddedObjects();
if(!embeddedObjects.isEmpty()){
var file:NotesEmbeddedObject = embeddedObjects.get(0);
imageURL.append("(lookupView)\\");
imageURL.append(doc.getUniversalID());
imageURL.append("\\$File\\");
imageURL.append(file.getName());
imageURL.append("?Open");
}
}else{
imageURL.append(doc.getUniversalID());
imageURL.append("/"+strRTItem+"/");
if(rtItem instanceof lotus.domino.local.RichTextItem){
imageURL.append("0.C4?OpenElement");
}else{
imageURL.append("M2?OpenElement");
}
}
return imageURL.toString()
}
}
}
It will check if a given RT field is present. If this is the case it assumes a few things:
