Probably my question unclear.
The used case we have, is a file is generated by a test bench, we want the operator to upload the file into Windchill.
So we created an interface, when he user click it request his username and password then send the file into Windchill and attach it to a wtpart. We wanted to do it using REST api through a java class.
Note that an empty wtdocument is already created before through a Workflow process.
So I refer to Article - CS305415 - How to update the Primary content of an existing WTDocuments via External Storage method using OData REST Services in Windchill PDMLink
So, here is my solution for this problem in case it can help someone else:
/**
* Executes a PUT request to the specified OData service URL to upload a file.
* @param serviceUrl the OData service URL ex.: serverUrl + "/servlet/odata/DocMgmt/Documents('OR:wt.doc.WTDocument:" + idA2A2 + "')/PrimaryContent";
* @param username the username for basic authentication
* @param password the password for basic authentication
* @param certPath the path to the SSL certificate
* @param csrfNonce the CSRF nonce token
* @param filePath the path to the file to be uploaded ex.: "C:\TEMP\Test123.xls"
* @return the response from the OData service
*/
public static String putOData(String serviceUrl, String username, String password, String certPath, String csrfNonce, String filePath) {
HttpsURLConnection httpsConn = null;
OutputStream outputStream = null;
String response = "";
try {
//Method to get the SSL context
SSLContext sslContext = getSSLContext(certPath);
File file = new File(filePath);
// Set the default SSLContext
HttpClient httpClient = HttpClientBuilder.create().setSSLContext(sslContext).build();
HttpPut request = new HttpPut(serviceUrl);
if (file != null && file.exists()) {
// Add Basic Authentication header
String auth = username + ":" + password;
String encodedAuth = Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString(auth.getBytes());
request.addHeader("CSRF_NONCE", csrfNonce);
request.addHeader("Accept", "application/json");
request.addHeader("Authorization", "Basic " + encodedAuth);
MultipartEntityBuilder builder = MultipartEntityBuilder.create();
builder.setMode(HttpMultipartMode.BROWSER_COMPATIBLE);
builder.addBinaryBody("File", file, ContentType.DEFAULT_BINARY, file.getName());
builder.addTextBody("key", file.getName(), ContentType.TEXT_PLAIN);
HttpEntity entity = builder.build();
request.setEntity(entity);
log.info("FileSize: {}" + (file.length() / 1024.0));
HttpResponse httpResponse = httpClient.execute(request);
response = EntityUtils.toString(httpResponse.getEntity(), StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
} else {
// File not found
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
try {
if (outputStream != null)
outputStream.close();
if (httpsConn != null)
httpsConn.disconnect();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
return response;
}
