To Create and Download the file from Service Export

To write a txt/xml file to Service Export and  directory:

In this post, we will see how to create text file using java code in the "\StaticContent\global\ServiceExport" directory.

In step -1: Page new to create a new page for holding the data to be written in the text file.
In step -2: setting the paramters for file name and then xml string or data.
In step -3 below java code need to be added to create text file, in this case XML file is being generated.

java.io.OutputStream outStream = null;
try {
//Whatever the file path is.
//String strFileName="Example_Pega12.xml";
String pathname = tools.findPage("pxProcess").getProperty("pxServiceExportPath").getStringValue() + PRFile.separatorChar + strFileName;
//java.io.File statText = new java.io.File("C:\\Softwares\\examplePega.txt");
PRFile file = new PRFile(pathname);
PROutputStream fileStream = new PROutputStream(file);
outStream = new java.io.BufferedOutputStream(fileStream);
  byte[] outBytes=StrData.getBytes();
//byte buffer2[] = new byte[4096];
outStream.write(outBytes);
outStream.flush();
outStream.close();
}catch (java.io.IOException ioEx) {
oLog.error("Error writing uploaded file to local storage", ioEx);
}

In step 4- @baseclass DownloadFile activity and passing the stringFile name as parameter which we created in step 3, that in turn will have java code to download the file to the browser.
