how to use set.ContentType in UDF

[Former Member]

Can somebody please tell me how to use set.ContentType in UDF?

I have to set the Content-Type of the email attachment in UDF but I am getting this error

• cannot find symbol
  symbol  : method setContentType(java.lang.String)
  location: class java.lang.String
  ...

I am using this function

GlobalContainer globalContainer = container.getGlobalContainer();

InputAttachments inputAttachments = globalContainer.getInputAttachments();

	attachmentContent = new String(attachments.getContent());
	attachmentContent.setContentType("application/xml; charset=utf-8");

result.addValue(attachmentContent);

Thanks,

Iqbal

Hi Muhammad,

At first your mistake is the next:

attachmentContent = new String(attachments.getContent()); --This means that                                                                         attachmentContent has a String type
attachmentContent.setContentType("application/xml; charset=utf-8") --String doesn't                                                                                 have a method setContentype!!

Example:

// get the XI message from the environment
Message msg = (Message)
inputModuleData.getPrincipalData();
// create a new payload
TextPayload attachment = msg.createTextPayload();
// provide attributes and content for the new payload
attachment.setName("Attachment");
attachment.setContentType("text/plain");
attachment.setText("Hello World");
// add the new payload as attachment to the message
msg.addAttachment(attachment);
// provide the XI message for returning
inputModuleData.setPrincipalData(msg);
