Hi all,
for customization project I want to download a workitem attachment to a directory on the server.

Reading Ralphs blog post I know how to download and read an attachment for the client side:
http://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2012/09/21/downloading-attachments-from-work-items/

But I want to try to do it as a serverside plugin where contentManager is not available. I found the following article describing the server side version to read files:
https://jazz.net/forum/questions/102417/abstractscmadvisor-how-do-you-read-changed-file-content

However, IServerSideVersionedContentService needs input of type IVersionable.

How can I download/read IAttachment using the server API?

Thank you!

you can use the IAuditableCommon service

fAuditableCommon = getService(IAuditableCommon.class);

OutputStream os = new ByteArrayOutputStream();

fAuditableCommon.retrieveContent(iattachment.getContent(), os, monitor)

that gives you the binary data of the attachment

note that you may need to add the IAuditableCommon class to your plugin dependencies list in plugin.xml
