Not able to get process configuration source using plain java API on RTC 6!

Hello ,

I am trying to get the process configuration source xml using java api through the code below:

 
IProcessClientService processClient = (IProcessClientService) teamRepository.getClientLibrary(IProcessClientService.class); 
 URI uri = URI.create(projectArea.replaceAll(" ", "%20")); 
 try { 
 processArea = (IProcessArea) processClient.findProcessArea(uri, null, null); 
 } 
catch (TeamRepositoryException e)
 { 
 e.printStackTrace(); 
 } 
 IProcessItemService processItemService = (IProcessItemService) teamRepository.getClientLibrary(IProcessItemService.class); 
 IWorkingCopyManager workingCopyMgr = processItemService.getWorkingCopyManager(); IProjectAreaWorkingCopy projectAreaCopy = (IProjectAreaWorkingCopy) workingCopyMgr.createPrivateWorkingCopy(processArea);
 IDocument doc = projectAreaCopy.getProcessSpecification();
 String docXml = doc.get();



But, when i print the string returned by 'doc.get()' i get an empty string i.e. ""
I don't see any error or any exceptions anywhere and the user used to log in has access to process specification which i confirmed through the eclipse client.
The same code works with client 5 libraries for RTC 6.0.4 server but not with client 6 libraries. 
Am i missing something or is there something more to be done server side to make it compatible with version 6 libraries? I am quite new to extending RTC so please forgive me if there are any mistakes.

 UPDATE:


When i try to get the xml source with a bit different code as below:

IContentManager icm = teamRepository.contentManager();
Map<?, ?> processData = processArea.getProcessData();
IContent processSource = (IContent)processData.get("com.ibm.team.internal.process.compiled.xml");
OutputStream os = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
 try {
icm.retrieveContent(processSource, os, null);
} catch (TeamRepositoryException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}


I get exception as below:
com.ibm.team.repository.common.TeamRepositoryException: The following header was missing from the server response: Content-Length.

I have this snippet lying around. Don't ask me about details.

                            // get it
                            IProjectArea project = (IProjectArea) (repo
                                    .itemManager().fetchCompleteItem(iparenthandle,
                                    IItemManager.DEFAULT, sPm));
                            System.out.println("have parent project name = "
                                    + project.getName());
                            // get the process data
                            @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
                            Map<string, object=""> pd = ip.getProcessData();
        ////  here is the xml extract
                            // get the process config content object
                            IContent processSource = (IContent) pd.get(keyname);
                            if (processSource != null)
                            {
                                System.out.println("have xml source");
                                saveXMLSource(ip, processSource, icm, sPm);
                            }                             
</string,>

Thank you for your reply.
After trying, i get exception at:

icm.retrieveContent(processSource, os, null);


I get exception as below:
com.ibm.team.repository.common.TeamRepositoryException: The following header was missing from the server response: Content-Length.

As I said "Don't ask me about details.". I am pretty sure the code has worked. You could also search the SDK for how the code is used in the RTC client. I am not going to remote debug this.

For whatever reason the code you are using seems to miss a header in the REST calls it finally does. Search the SDK for how the calls are used in RTC and in the tests in the SDK.
