Getting the WTDocument URL link

[TiboMagnier]

Hi,

I currently am implementing a method listener to retrieve some info from a WDocument soft-type and send it to another system.

But there is ann information I can't get : the object url. Indeed, I'd like to provide a direct link from the other system to the information page of the windchill object (like the one when you click on the object on a folder view) :

http://xxxxx.xxxxx.com/Windchill/servlet/TypeBasedIncludeServlet?oid=OR%3Awt.doc.WTDocument%3A41117&u8=1

I looked "URLFactory" doc but it's light and I'm not even sure if this is the correct way.

A must would be that it redirect to the "attributes page" of the object, butlet's start soft.

Any help will be fully appreciated.

Sincerely,

Thibault Magné

you can do like this：

wt.epm.EPMDocument doc = xxx.getEPMDoc();
String docUrl = "http://pdm.xxx.com/Windchill/servlet/TypeBasedIncludeServlet?oid=OR:wt.epm.EPMDocument:$id$&u8=1";
String id = "" + wt.fc.PersistenceHelper.getObjectIdentifier(doc).getId();
String weburl = docUrl.replace("$id$",id);

good luck

Hi Thibault,

Try this:

object_ref = (new wt.fc.ReferenceFactory()).getReferenceString(part);

it gives object referense like "VR:wt.part.WTPart%3A92324". And than join "http://xxxxx.xxxxx.com/Windchill/servlet/TypeBasedIncludeServlet?oid=" from left, and "&u8=1" from right.

Also you can use this method for download content:

WVSContentHelper.getDownloadURL(ContentHolder, ApplicationData)

First, thank you for your answers. They are very useful and alowed me to test some mechanism.

I found a "better" solution that do not need too harcode dome server information :

HashMap hashmap = new HashMap();
hashmap.put("action", "ObjProps");
ObjectReference objectreference = ObjectReference.newObjectReference(aWTDocument);
ReferenceFactory referencefactory = new ReferenceFactory();
hashmap.put("oid", referencefactory.getReferenceString(objectreference));
wt.httpgw.URLFactory urlfactory = new wt.httpgw.URLFactory();
url=GatewayServletHelper.buildAuthenticatedHREF(urlfactory,"wt.enterprise.URLProcessor", "URLTemplateAction", null, hashmap);

[dbalagansky]

nice!

You can use appropriate property to avoid hardcore server defenition:

WTProperties wtprops = WTProperties.getLocalProperties();
String wtInstance = wtprops.getProperty("java.rmi.server.hostname");

So, whatever one may say there are always a lot of possible solutions.

Hello, sorry for my english. I currentrly implementing a method that will be retrieve URL-file from Windchill that contains link to latest iteration of current revision.

This URL-files will be placed to other PLM system or can be shared to our customers.

For example URL file

[{000214A0-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}]

Prop3=19,2

[InternetShortcut]

URL=http://wnc-server.com/Windchill/app/#ptc1/tcomp/infoPage?oid=VR%3Awt.epm.EPMDocument%3A2849745&u8=1

IDList=

Permanent part of link

a) http://wnc-server.com/Windchill/app/#ptc1/tcomp/infoPage?oid=VR%3Awt.epm.EPMDocument%3A

b) &u8=1

And in the middle we have ID of WNC object in form XXXXXXX that will be ID of EPMdocument in Windchill

I need to create action from menu on the EPMDocument page, that should run some java code and create url file.

I think i should create servlet that will be:

a) Get EPMDocument ID

b) Create URL-file with link

c) Download URL-file to user
