Content builder

The value resolvers in this category read, write, delete or create content of different types using different methods:

Value resolver	Purpose	Reference	Return value
Attached document	The contents of 'attached' Documents (with reference to the entity in the input value) are read as a list of 'content' objects.	Documents	'Content' object
File reference	Delete a file in the file system of the Lobster Data Platform / Orchestration server or read or write its content (as text or 'content' object).	File manager
Print document	Create a print document with the data of one or more entities in the input value.	Print documents
Template	Create a text (plain text or e.g. also HTML or any other text-based format) by interpreting the data in the 'print XML' (`Print` object) for the current context (reference object(s), session data, variables) using a RAW template.		Text
XML export	Create a text that reflects the server XML created via the `ExportManager` for the entity in the input value.		Text
Profile call	Provide the return value of a Lobster_data profile. Depending on the parameterization of the value resolver, the result is either a 'content' object, a text or an entity parsed from the XML response of the profile.		'Content' object or text or entity

'Content' object (Content)

Some of the value resolvers in this category refer in the return value to the 'content' object (de.lobster.scm.actionevent.actor.content.Content) with the following data structure:

Field	Data type	Content	Example
`body`	`byte[]`	base64 encoded content	`JVBERi0xLjcNCiW1...`
`mediaType`	`String`	MIME type of data in the `body` field	`application/pdf`
`name`	`String`	File name	po234711.pdf

Lobster Data Platform / Orchestration uses different classes with reference to file contents. The following table shows which fields correspond to the fields of the 'content' object in each case:

Object →└ Field ↓	'Content' object	'File information' object (see File form element)	'Document' object (see Documents)	File field (see Custom type definitions)
Content	`body`	`content`	'Document content' (`documentContent`)	`<field>.content`
Type	`mediaType`	`type`	'Type' (`contentType`)	`<field>.contentType`
Name	`name`	`name`	'Name' (`name`)	`<field>.name`
