-// The Supplier API allows agents to publicise the MIME types they are -// interested in. When those files arrive on the device, message handling -// applications can check these MIME types and import the file -// into CAF. The agent transforms the file into a different format -// for use within the device. -// In most cases this won't be necessary, since the files will arrive in the -// same format that they will be used in. However, some agents require the device -// to protect (encrypt) the content at the moment it arrives; the Supplier -// API fulfills that role. -// The classes used in the supply operation are: -// ContentAccess::CSupplier and instances of ContentAccess::CImportFile. -//
-// The ContentAccess::CSupplier is designed to allow several unrelated files to be imported -// into CAF. It uses its ContentAccess::CAgentResolver member to determine -// which CA agent should be used to import each file. The CAgentResolver builds -// a list of all agents when it is created and updates the list if new agents -// are installed. -// A typical import session will start with the creation of a CSupplier, e.g., -// //Create Supplier -// CSupplier *mySupplier = CSupplier::NewL(); -// Most applications will have a preference for the directory where output files -// are to be stored. Usually the first thing to do with the new CSupplier instance -// is to set the output path. -// //Set output path for DRM protected content -// _LIT(KPath,"C:\myOutputFiles"); -// mySupplier->SetOutputDirectoryL(KPath()); -// It is not necessary to set the output path if the application -// provides output file handles to the agent. -//
-// Check that the MIME type is supported -// Before importing a file into the content access framework, an application -// should check that the MIME type of the file is supported. Each agent publishes a -// list of the MIME types it supports. The list is configured in the agent's -// resource file and can be checked using ContentAccess::CSupplier::IsImportSupported() -// if(!mySupplier->IsImportSupported(myMimeType)) -// return; -// Create a CMetaDataList object -// The CMetaDataList object is used to store any information associated with the import file that -// may be useful for the agent. These values will be passed to the agent. -// For example OMA DRM 1.0 files sometimes arrive with the HTTP header -// X-Oma-Drm-Separate-Delivery. This informs the agent how long before rights are expected -// for the content. If the rights were expected in 12 seconds it would be something like -// the following: -// // Create meta-data array -// CMetaDataArray *metaDataArray = new (ELeave) CMetaDataArray(); -// CleanupStack::PushL(metaDataArray); -// // Add any useful information we can think of.... -// metaDataArray->AddL(_L("Content Type"), _L("application/vnd.oma.drm.dm")); -// metaDataArray->AddL(_L("X-Oma-Drm-Separate-Delivery"), _L("12")); -// The file is 'written' to CAF using a ContentAccess::CImportFile object. -// ContentAccess::CSupplier::ImportFile() creates an CImportFile object for importing a file. -// The parameters supplied indicate whether the agent will create the output files or whether -// the application using CAF will generate output files for the agent on demand. -// // Create the import object, passing in the metaDataArray created earlier -// // The application will supply the output files -// CImportFile *import = mySupplier->ImportFileL(sourceMimeType, *metaDataArray); -// The application should now transfer the file to CAF using the CImportFile object. -// Only one file can be transferred by each instance although several output files -// may be produced. Applications should create new CImportFile objects in order to import more files. -// Agents Generating the Output files -// If the application wants the agent to generate the output files, it should supply a suggested -// file name in the call to CSupplier::ImportFile(). Even if this parameter is a zero length -// descriptor, it still indicates that the agent is responsible for generating output files. -// Agents will create the output files in a directory nominated by the application when it called -// CSupplier::SetOutputDirectoryL() or they may decide to store the output files in their private -// directory. -// Applications should check at the end of the import to find out how many output files were created -// and where they are stored. -// Application generating the Output files -// If no suggested file name is passed to the agent, the application will provide output files for -// the agent to use. This mechanism allows applications to open files in their own private directory and -// ask the CAF agent to store the output in those files. -// The way it works is the same as an any other import operation, the difference is that the call -// to CImportFile::WriteData() or CImportFile::WriteComplete() may return an error code of -// KErrCANewFileHandleRequired. -// This error code indicates that the agent needs a new output file handle in order to continue. The -// application should open a new output file with write access and call CImportFile::ContinueWithNewOutputFile() -// to supply the new handle to the agent. It is possible that further handles may be needed, if so -// CImportFile::ContinueWithNewOutputFile() will return KErrCANewFileHandleRequired and the application should -// repeat the procedure with another file. -// The agent must cache its state before returning KErrCANewFileHandleRequired. The application MUST NOT resend -// the same WriteData() or WriteComplete() command. -// At the end of the import operation the output files will still be listed regardless of whether -// they were supplied by the application or the agent. -//
-// ContentAccess::CImportFile is the class used to write the file data to CAF. -// It is created by ContentAccess::CSupplier and can only be used to import a single file. -// An application should call WriteData() to transfer a field in 'chunks' to the Content -// Access Framework. Usually this would be something like the following: -// TFileName fileName; -// TBuf8<128> data; -// TInt err = KErrNone; -// // start importing content -// while( (source still has data) && (err==KErrNone) ) -// source.read(data); -// err = import->WriteData(data); -// // need to supply new file to import to ? -// while (err == KErrCANewFileHandleRequired) -// // supply new file in order to continue writing -// RFile newFile; -// import->GetSuggestedOutputFileName(fileName); -// newFile.Open(fileName, EFileWrite); -// err = import->ContinueWithNewOutputFile(newFile, fileName); -// newFile.Close(); -//
-// When all the data is written, the application should call ContentAccess::CImportFile::WriteComplete(), this will -// let the agent know that all the data has been transferred and allow it to perform any final processing. -// err = import->WriteComplete(); -// // When application supplies file handles it must always check to see if -// // the agent needs a new file handle -// while(err == KErrCANewFileHandleRequired) -// RFile newFile; -// import->GetSuggestedOutputFileName(fileName); -// newFile.Open(fileName, EFileWrite); -// err = import->ContinueWithNewOutputFile(newFile, filename); -// // It is possible that the agent needs yet another file handle -// newFile.Close(); // agent makes a copy so we don't need to keep our file handle -// At this stage all the agent's work is done, the CImportFile object can be deleted. -//
-// When the import is finished the application may wish to check if any output files have -// been produced. The list of output files is accessed using ContentAccess::CImportFile::OutputFileL(). -// // loop over all the output files produced -// for(TInt i =0; i < import->OutputFileCountL(); i++) -// // Can now retrieve filename, type of file (receipt or content) and -// // MIME type for the file produced -// TPtr filename = import->OutputFileL(i).FileName(); -// TOutputType type = import->OutputFileL(i).OutputType(); -// TPtr8 mimetype = import->OutputFileL(i).MimeType(); -// The output files can be either content files or receipts for DRM rights. It is possible that no output -// files will be generated and the file will be "absorbed" into the agent. -// Also, it is important to remember that the MIME type and most likely the file extension of the output files are -// almost certainly different to the MIME type and file extension of the imported file. -//
