Write contents of InputStream to a RichTextItem and attach to a Notes document in Java

Question

I am able to attach a file to RichTextItem of a domino document that I receive as an InputStream. Below is the code snippet:

attachDocument(InputStream is){
    .....
    File attFile = saveInputStr(is);
    Document attdoc = testdb.createDocument();
    attDoc.replaceItemValue("Form", "formAttachment");
    RichTextItem rti = (RichTextItem) attDoc.getFirstItem("attachment");
    rti.embedObject(EmbeddedObject.EMBED_ATTACHMENT, "", attFile .getPath(), attFile .getName());
    .....
}

This works fine. But what if I don't want to write the file to disk, like I save it to a File i.e. attFile in the above snippet. Is there a way that to write the contents of InputStream to a file (may be using some notes document) and attach it with out saving to disk.

Where are you getting the `InputStream is`? I mean what is the source of it, another `embeddedObj.getInputStream()` or something else? — Naveen, Jul 02 '13 at 14:16

I actually found solution for my question. Maybe it will be helpful for someone

attachDocument(InputStream is){
        .....
        //File attFile = saveInputStr(is);
        Document attdoc = testdb.createDocument();
        attDoc.replaceItemValue("Form", "formAttachment");
        //RichTextItem rti = (RichTextItem) attDoc.getFirstItem("attachment");
        //rti.embedObject(EmbeddedObject.EMBED_ATTACHMENT, "", attFile .getPath(), attFile .getName());
        attDoc.getFirstItem("attachment");
        Stream stream = DominoUtils.getCurrentSession().createStream();
        stream.write(IOUtils.toByteArray(is));
        MIMEEntity me = attDoc.createMIMEEntity("attachment"); 
        me.setContentFromBytes(stream, "application/pdf", MIMEEntity.ENC_IDENTITY_8BIT);
        is.close();
        attdoc.save();
        .....
    }

Hi! The DominoUtils and IOUtils belong o wich packages? – Marcus Loza Jun 26 '17 at 18:16 — Marcus Loza, Jun 26 '17 at 18:16

Via the JAVA API (or LotusScript, COM) I don't see a way to add an attachment to a rich text item using anything but the embedObject method. And unfortunately the embedObject method only takes a string pointing to the file location to be imported. Without a way to pass in an actual object it seems you are required to have the file on disk and pass the path to that file.

This is correct. Our methodology is generally to create a folder on the file system and clean up and delete it when done. – Aaron Brake Jul 03 '13 at 14:40
