IContentService.retrieveContent


Michele Pegoraro (1.8k14118103) | asked Dec 16 '11, 1:47 p.m.
Hi,
I'm trying to retrive content from a versioned file in a follow up extension.
I have a problem using retrieveContent method: as on client side it accept IFileContent, on server side it only accept IContent and casting does not work.

Is there a way to get an IContent from an IFileContent?

Thanks,
Michele.

I found the above information to be correct, but I needed more context.

See the answer provied to my AbstractScmAdvisor question:

IFileItem javadoc says to use IFSContentManager, but I cannot find it...

I've found a solution: use a different service.

The service I've found is IServerSideVersionedContentService with method fetchContent.

I don't understand very much why of this difference between client and server, I would expect to match IContentManager with IContentService instead of this specific class.

Michele.
