-------------------------------------
Hello Dipayan,
Thank you for the prompt response. I understood your reasoning in the last
comment. I, however, have a few more questions to understand this issue:
>From your explanation for (Q3), I understand that the 1st server call with
>"checkperm" ensures that the user has the permission to open the file. If he
>does not have the permission, then a "ServiceFormattedException" error is
>thrown (This is seen in image attached "error_after_file_open.tiff"). This
>error is caught in the controller and and alert is displayed on the screen.
If the user has the permission, then you get a response with "allowed=true" in
the response and you make a 2nd server call. This time, the response is to
download the file.
My question:
Q4)
In case of the user NOT having permission, the statement checking "checkperm"
parameter is not even reached. The error thrown is directly caught in the
controller code. It is only in the success case (i.e. the user has the
permissions for the file), the statement checking "checkperm" is reached.
Couldn't we directly execute the code to download the file if the execution
reaches past the statement of "FSDataInputStream fs = api.open(path);" (i.e.
the place where we check "checkperm" at present) ?
This would save the 2nd server call. If the user has permission, the file is
downloaded, otherwise and alert is displayed.
Please correct me if I am wrong in my understanding.
Thank you
