Hi Emir!

You could use java code to get file by URL and add it to your message as attachment.

Hi Evgeniy, thansk for you response.

I not found a java code that perform this transformation.

you have a java code that I can be useful?

Hi Emir!

You can use following method in your java mapping or UDF (though I didn't test it myself as UDF) to get byte array from URL link:

     public byte[] getByteArrayFromURL(String url) {

          ByteArrayOutputStream os=new ByteArrayOutputStream();

          try {

               URL httpURL = new URL(url);

               ReadableByteChannel rbc = Channels.newChannel(httpURL.openStream());

               WritableByteChannel osc=Channels.newChannel(os);

               ByteBuffer byteBuf=ByteBuffer.allocate(65536);

               while (rbc.read(byteBuf) != -1) {

                    byteBuf.flip();

                    osc.write(byteBuf);

                    byteBuf.clear();

               }

          }

          catch (Exception e) {

               e.printStackTrace();

          }

          return os.toByteArray();

     }
