Hi,

I am having an artifact XML attached to an asset. I need to retrieve its contents through eclipse client.I've used below RAM APIs, but could not get the artifact contents -
AssetIdentification assetIden = new AssetIdentification(guid, version);
RAMAsset asset = session.getAsset(assetIden);
FolderArtifact root = asset.getArtifactsRoot();
Artifact[] artifacts = root.getChildren();
RAMArtifact artifact = (RAMArtifact)artifacts;
InputStream is = artifact.downloadContents();
It is not returning me the xml contents, although it gives the correct XML name when I check - artifact.getName()

I was able to get xml contents through Web client but it does not work with Eclipse.
Kindly help.
Thanks!

InputStream is empty.
Yes, I can browse the artifact content successfully from web.

		RAMSession session = new RAMSession(URL, USERID, PASS);

		try{

			AssetIdentification assetIden = new AssetIdentification(GUID, VERSION); 

			RAMAsset asset = session.getAsset(assetIden); 

			FolderArtifact root = asset.getArtifactsRoot(); 

			Artifact[] artifacts = root.getChildren(); 

			RAMArtifact artifact = (RAMArtifact)artifacts[0]; 

			InputStream is = artifact.downloadContents(); 

			

			byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];

			int read = -1;

			while((read = is.read(buffer)) != -1){

				String st = new String(buffer, 0, read);

				System.out.print(st);

			}

		}catch (Exception e) {

			e.printStackTrace();

		}

		finally{

			if(session != null)session.release();

		}

It works now.
To read the artifact contents I was creating a byte array based on the InputStream size. Somehow size of InputStream comes as -1 always.So it was not getting written to the byte array.
After using your approach, it worked well.
Many Thanks for your valuable time.

I have just tried to reproduce on a 7.1.1.1 server and I am still not able to reproduce this issue.
