    • getFileData

      <E extends IFileDataEntity<?>, T extends IFileProviding<?, E>> byte[] getFileData(IEntityContext ec, Class<T> entityClass, long id)
      Returns the file data of a file entity.

      Use with care! As the name suggests, this holds the entire file data in memory. Prefer using an input stream instead.

      E - Type of the entity with the file data.
      T - Type of the entity with the file meta data.
      Parameters:
      ec - Entity context for database transactions.
      entityClass - Type of the file entity with the file meta data.
      id - ID of the file entity with the file meta data.
      Returns:
      The file content as a byte array, or null when no file content was found.
