Controlling filenames using PayloadZipBean

Question

Hello
I am struggling with names of the zipped files using payloadzipbean. The Scenario is as follows: we want to transfer an invoice including attachments to an external partner consisting of an xml message and one or more pdf files as attachments. the attachments are added to the message in an ABAP proxy on the sending R/3 system. The message is transferred to PI,where it si routed to an ftp communication channel. The xml message is zipped using the payloadzip bean and transferred to the external partner using ftp. The partner requires an approriate file extension to identify the types of files on the receiving side. Originally we managed this pay using the parameter zip.filenameKey and set it ContentType. The files inside the zip file are then named "untitled.xml" for the xml message and "untitled.pdf" for the attachments. However when there is more than one attachment the zipping of the file crashed, as both attachments have the same filename. We can fix this by adding an unique name to the attachment when it is attached to the proxy, and changing the zip.filenameKey to payloadName. The problem then is that the main payload file is called MainDocument without the .xml extension. I need to change the name of the payload or find another way to make the attachment filenames unique with zip.filenameKey set to ContentTyoe, Any suggestions ?

Answer 1

it is a bit tricky.
You might have to code a module to build the attachments and then use zipbean to zip it for you.
to set the name of the main document you can have a look into the sinppet of code below;
Vector_attachementFileName contains the name for the attachment
attachmentFileMainPayload has the data of the main payload
XMLPayload MainDocumentPayload = message.createXMLPayload();
        MainDocumentPayload.setContent(
          this.attachmentFileMainPayload.getBytes());
        message.setDocument(MainDocumentPayload);
        Audit.addAuditLogEntry(
          this.auditMKey,
          AuditLogStatus.SUCCESS,
          "Main Document Successfully Set");
        TextPayload txtpayload = message.getDocument();
        txtpayload.setContentType("text/plain");
        txtpayload.setName(
          this.Vector_attachementFileName
          .elementAt(lengthOfVector - 1)
          .toString());
        Audit.addAuditLogEntry(
          this.auditMKey,
          AuditLogStatus.SUCCESS,
          "File Created: " +
          this.Vector_attachementFileName
          .elementAt(lengthOfVector - 1)
          .toString());
