How to use complex datatypes, Document and RelatedObject in CAF

[Former Member]

Hi,

We can find the Document and Related Object Complex data types under the services node of caf.core. How are they implemented in an Application Service.

Is it possible to upload Document in CAF? If possible, are the above mentioned data types used for the same?

Please provide an example if possible.

Hi,

Document BO and DocContent are predefined BO and service resp. Thses are used in integration with CAF and Knowledge Mangement(KM).

See these links:

Hi,

Can you please tell me how to upload a Document in the Server File System?

Is there any difference between KM and Server File System?

Hi Sampath,

Thanks! But I want to know that can we upload a Document from the local machine and store it in CAF as an object. Just as we create other Business objects, and set or retrive the data, in the same way do we have a data type which can refer to the Document.

Hi,

I think we can create a document and save it in CAF DB using ByteArray data type for document content. But we didn,t try it so far. We implemented this functionality by saving documents in Server File system instead of CAF DB.

Thanks
