Just a side note, you can get the username and password from the HTTP
header like this...

<!--
  -- Alternative way to force authentication
  -- if authentication not already provided
  -->

<ie:authenticate/>

<%
/*
 *  Set authUser and authPass to be equal to the supplied
 *  username and password
 */

        String authHeader = request.getHeader("Authorization");
        String authUser = null;
        String authPass = null;

        if (authHeader != null && authHeader.substring(0,6).equalsIgnoreCase("Basic "))
        {
                String decoded = com.infoengine.util.Base64.decode(authHeader.substring(6).trim());
                if (decoded != null)
                {
                        int i = decoded.indexOf(":");
                        if (i != -1)
                        {
                                authUser = decoded.substring(0, i);
                                authPass = decoded.substring(i + 1);
                        }
                }
        }
%>

As far as your question, you can also access information in the group by
creating a com.infoengine.SAK.IeService object called "ie" like this...

<ie:getService varName="ie"/>

Then check out the javadoc for Info*Engine for the methods you can use
against it (for example, ie.getElements("group_name");).  I think
there's a method to get the Mime type for the elements in the group.

________________________________

Here's snippet from my document retriever. The main section is bolded
and what I am doing is getting the MIME type and setting it to the
response content type like this:

response.setContentType(data.getFormat().getDataFormat().getMimeType());

Now, you can ignore my special checks and logging but the line above
gets the mime type.

ContentHolder holder=ContentHelper.service.getContents(doc);

ApplicationData data=(ApplicationData)ContentHelper.service.getPrimary(doc);

//build server call to export content file
String path=indexerProperties.getString("outputPath");
Class[] args={ApplicationData.class,String.class};
Object[] args2={data,path};

//export file

rms.invoke("writeOutDocumentContent","customization.aerovantix.retrieve.AerovantixServerCommands", null,args,args2); 

//pickup file from disk

File file;

    if(Boolean.valueOf(indexerProperties.getString("nonITARMode")).booleanValue())
	file=new File(indexerProperties.getString("nonITARFile"));
    else
	file=new File(path+File.separator+data.getFileName());

FileInputStream fin=new FileInputStream(file);

//set header
logger.debug("MIME Type:" + data.getFormat().getDataFormat().getMimeType());

if(Boolean.valueOf(indexerProperties.getString("nonITARMode")).booleanValue()){
	logger.debug("Non ITAR MIME is "+indexerProperties.getString("nonITARMIME"));
	response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment;filename=\"NonITARFile.pdf\"");
	response.setContentType(indexerProperties.getString("nonITARMIME"));
}
else {
	response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment;filename=\"" + data.getFileName() + "\"");
	response.setContentType(data.getFormat().getDataFormat().getMimeType());
}

//write file to response
BufferedInputStream in=new BufferedInputStream(fin);
OutputStream out=response.getOutputStream();

Hi all:

I'm running a jsp file (non-xml), that retrieves a document from
PDM-LINK.  I want to open this document in it's specific application in
Windows, specifically MS-Word. I perform a Get-ContentItems webject and
download the data, but it's all just streamed/dumped to the screen; Word
never opens.  Please see code below.

PTC tech support claims that it works for him.. does anybody have any
idea what I can do?

Thank you,

Rich

Notes:

1) I don't have Office Integration installed since this application will
be used by non-Windchill users.

2) This is a jsp program that is outside Windchill's authorization; i.e.
strictly explicit authorization.

3) This is JSP, non-XML.
