[ome-devel] Accessing OMERO.insight attachements via the API.

[Bernhard Holländer]

Hi Jerome!

>From the FileAnnotationI you get the OriginalFileI with the getFile
method. From the OriginalFileI you get its id and initialize a
RawFileStore proxy from it. This has a read method to retrieve the
file content. The size attribute of the OriginalFileI instance tells
you how much you can read.

Example python code:
# file_an is a file annotation from a previos query
org_file = file_an.file
store = session.createRawFileStore()
store.setFileId(org_file.id.val)
# you might want to read the file in blocks and write the blocks to a local file
# here it's the whole file sucked over the wirte in one chunck
data = store.read(0, org_file.size.val)
store.close()

Hope that helps! Bernhard
