Prompt Detail:
To return the content of a document in bytes in a Java Spring application, you can create a method in a controller class that accepts the URL of the document and returns the byte array of the document's content.
Here is an example of how you can achieve this:
javaimport java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.net.URL;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestParam;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;
@RestController
public class DocumentController {
@GetMapping("/document")
public byte[] getDocumentContent(@RequestParam String url) throws Exception {
// Create a URL object from the URL string
URL documentUrl = new URL(url);
// Open a connection to the URL and get the input stream
InputStream inputStream = documentUrl.openStream();
// Read the content of the document into a byte array using a ByteArrayOutputStream
ByteArrayOutputStream byteArrayOutputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int bytesRead;
while ((bytesRead = inputStream.read(buffer)) != -1) {
byteArrayOutputStream.write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);
}
byte[] documentContent = byteArrayOutputStream.toByteArray();
// Close the input stream and the output stream
inputStream.close();
byteArrayOutputStream.close();
return documentContent;
}
}
In this example, the getDocumentContent
method takes a URL parameter url
and returns the byte array of the document's content. The method opens a connection to the URL, reads the content of the document into a byte array using a ByteArrayOutputStream
, and then returns the byte array.
Note that this example assumes that the URL of the document is publicly accessible and does not require any authentication or authorization. If the document requires authentication or authorization, you will need to provide the necessary credentials or tokens in the request headers or query parameters.
