Download Resumes from Taleo

Taleo stores resume files or resume attachments in base64gz format at rest. The WriteBase64StringToBinary peoplecode file function will do only half of the job as it will not take care of uncompressing the gz format.

One option could be to use the peoplecode WriteBase64StringToBinary to get the decoded but compressed string and then use another 3rd party command line or java command line to uncompress the file.

Following method shows performing the decryption using delivered java classes.

Local JavaObject &fileOutgz, &gzFile, &fileIn, &fileOut;
Local JavaObject &gzipIn, &filebuffer, &decoder, &bytes_decoded;
Local string &gzFilePath;
Local number &byteCount;

   try

        /* some location to write the decoded but compressed file */

      &gzFilePath = "e:\\temp\\resume.gz";

      /* Get the Java Base64 decoder instance */
      &decoder = GetJavaClass("java.util.Base64").getDecoder();

      /* Decode the string into a byte array */

     /* &encoded_string is the value received from Taleo */
      &bytes_decoded = &decoder.decode(&encoded_string);
      &fileOutgz = CreateJavaObject("java.io.FileOutputStream", &gzFilePath);
      &fileOutgz.write(&bytes_decoded);
      &fileOutgz.flush();
      &fileOutgz.close();

      /* Create a FileInputStream for the compressed .gz file */

      &resumeFilePath = "e:\\temp\\resume.pdf";
      &fileIn = CreateJavaObject("java.io.FileInputStream", &gzFilePath);
      &fileOut = CreateJavaObject("java.io.FileOutputStream", &resumeFilePath);

      /* Chain it to a GZIPInputStream to decompress as it reads */
      &gzipIn = CreateJavaObject("java.util.zip.GZIPInputStream", &fileIn);

      /* Use a byte array to read chunks of decompressed data */
      &filebuffer = CreateJavaArray("byte[]", 1024);

      /* Read decompressed bytes until the end of the stream */
      &byteCount = &gzipIn.read(&filebuffer);

      While &byteCount > 0
         /* Process the uncompressed bytes, write to file */
         &fileOut.write(&filebuffer, 0, &byteCount);
         &byteCount = &gzipIn.read(&filebuffer);
      End-While; 

      /* Close the input streams to release resources */
      &gzipIn.close();
      &fileOut.close();
      &fileIn.close();

      &gzFile = CreateJavaObject("java.io.File", &gzFilePath);

      /* delete the temporary gz file */
      If &gzFile.exists() Then
         &gzFile.delete();
      End-If;

   catch Exception &ex      
        /* handle error conditions here */

          &bError = True;
