Work with document content

To work with the content of documents, you can use the ECMContentStream data type to wrap a content stream and return information about the stream. A content stream is a stream of data that contains the content of a document, such as a word processing document or an image.

The ECMContentStream data type is used in the following four Enterprise Content Management (ECM) operations:

• Check in document

• Create document
• Get document content
• Set document content

Information about these operations is found in the topic Data mapping in Enterprise Content Management operations.

The properties for the ECMContentStream data type are described in the following table:

ECMContentStream properties

Property name	Description
contentLength	The length of the content stream in bytes. If it is set, it must be a positive number. If the length is unknown, it must not be set.
mimeType	The MIME media type of the content stream. For the primary content of a document, the MIME media type should match the value of the property cmis:contentStreamMimeType. For example, application/pdf.
fileName	The file name of the content stream. For the primary content of a document, the file name should match the value of the property cmis:contentStreamFileName.
content	The value of the document. It must be of type String Base64 and encoded in UTF-8.

The following example code fragments can be used in a script activity to get and set values:

// Script sample code to set and encode the document content tw.local.ContentStream.content =  new Packages.java.lang.String(content64, "UTF-8");
    
// Script sample code to get and decode the document content
