Tersus: Re: Problem with sending binary file

Re: Problem with sending binary fileDate: Feb 22, 2010Sending binary content as input to Show File won't work, since it is a plugin which by definition is called from the client side, and the client side itself, cannot handle binary data, with the single exception of a File structure passed via a flow directly from File Input Field's <Value> element to a Service.It looks like you have 2 options:

If you want to use Show File, the service which precedes it will need to return some identifier to the file (say the unique key to a table used to store the file the service creates, temporarily). The identifier can be passed to the Show File, which will retrieve the file itself for output, and in addition remove the file from the table)

An alternative is to replace Show File with a mechanism that downloads files via a callable service, as demonstrated for example in the Callable Service documentation (see use case 3).
