Hybris MediaModel how to get Bytes

Question

Is there any way in Hybris to obtain all the bytes from a MediaModel ? When I want to instantiate a PdfReader , I need to pass either the Path of the File OR the ByteArrayInputStream. How can I transform the MediaModel into a Byte Array?

Answer 1

You can use MediaService

@Resource
private MediaService mediaService;
//...
final MediaModel mediaModel= mediaService.getMedia("mediaName");
final InputStream inputStream = mediaService.getStreamFromMedia(mediaModel);

Then you can pass InputStream or converting it to the format you want like ByteArrayInputStream

You can also convert it byte Array like this

byte[] bytes = IOUtils.toByteArray(is);
