Yes, you can do this by mapping the Contents
attribute (which has the Mendix type Binary
) of your FileDocument
object to an XML entity of type xsd:base64Binary
(and vice versa).
It's just like any other mapping. You have an entity that you want to map to some xml. Only this xml has an attribute of type xsd:base64Binary
. If we choose a FileDocument
(or an entity that inherits from FileDocument
) an extra attribute shows up in the mapping screen, namely Contents
. Select this attribute for the xml element of type base64Binary
and you're done. The contents of the FileDocument
will be translated to that xml element.
Could anyone tell me in details how can I do this mapping?
I have a published WS which returns an object with a list of documents related to it
