Hi,
I am using the Asset Manager API to get the video in inputStream from a URL and then calling the createAsset function on it. All the attributes passed have non-null values in it. Still, the createAsset function fails with a Null Pointer Exception when I am trying it for videos. However, while uploading the image files to DAM, this method works.
I am setting the mimeType to be video/mp4. Below is the erroneous code-
if (videoURL.contains(".")) {
mimeType = MigrationUtil.getMimeType(videoURL);
fileName = videoURL;
}
GetMethod videoRestResponse = downloadVideo (videoURL);
int videoSize = 0;
if (HttpStatus.SC_OK == videoRestResponse.getStatusCode()) {
try {
videoSize = videoRestResponse.getResponseBody().length;
LOG.debug("Video Size: {} ", videoSize); -->not null
inputStream = getInputStream(videoRestResponse.getResponseBody());
String newFile = MigrationConstants.IDZ_DAM_PATH_VIDEO ;
LOG.debug ( "NEW FILE {} ",newFile ); --> not null
LOG.debug ( "INPUT STREAM {} ", inputStream ); --> not null
LOG.debug ( "MIME TYPE {} ", mimeType ); --> video/mp4
if (null != assetMgr && videoSize > MigrationConstants.ZERO ) {
assetMgr.createAsset(newFile, inputStream, mimeType, true); --> Null pointer exception
}
} catch (MalformedURLException | NullPointerException ex) {
LOG.error("Malformed OR Null Exception occurred: {}", ex.getMessage(), ex);
} catch (Exception ex) {
LOG.error("Exception occured", ex.getMessage(), ex);
} finally {
IOUtils.closeQuietly(inputStream);
}
}
So, despite of having all the values within the attributes, I am unable to get as to why the createAsset() function is failing. Is it something to do with just the videos?
I have also tried createAssetBinary() function that does not throw any exception, but, also does not create any asset in the DAM.
Any insights on this will be helpful. Or if I could get some reference for saving a video asset in DAM from any source URL, that would be helpful as well.
Thank you!
