Get .txt file from Lotus Notes document using Java

I created the notes doument using java code and then created the rich text field as follow

           doc = db.createDocument();
            doc.replaceItemValue("FROMMAIL", "[email protected]");
            doc.replaceItemValue("SENDTO", "[email protected]");
            doc.replaceItemValue("SUBJECT", "NotesSlrWriter");
            DateTime s2 = sess.createDateTime(new Date());
            System.out.println("Setting date to: "
                    + s2.toJavaDate().toLocaleString());
            doc.replaceItemValue("POSTEDDATE", s2);

            RichTextItem t = doc.createRichTextItem("Attachements");
            t.appendText("Here is the Attachment");
            t.addNewLine(2);
            t.embedObject(EmbeddedObject.EMBED_ATTACHMENT, null,
                    "c:\\test\\test.txt", "testtxt");
            doc.save();

So i know from using doc.getItemValue(arg0) values i can get the values of the other field in my java code.

But i don't know how i can get test.txt in a Attachment field of Notes Document into my java class

In case if you do not know the file name, you can walk through all attachments in RichTextItem.

Below is example that scan 1 richtextitem and export all files in folder.

RichTextItem body = doc.getFirstItem("Attachements");
Vector v = body.getEmbeddedObjects();
Enumeration e = v.elements();
while (e.hasMoreElements()) {
   EmbeddedObject eo = (EmbeddedObject)e.nextElement();

   if (eo.getType() == EmbeddedObject.EMBED_ATTACHMENT) {
         System.out.println("\t" + eo.getName());
         eo.extractFile("c:\\extracts\\" + eo.getSource());
         eo.remove();
   }
}

There is another solution, that may help you:

EmbeddedObject eo = doc.getAttachment("testtxt");
System.out.println(eo.getName());
eo.extractFile("c:\\extracts\\" + eo.getSource());

t.getEmbeddedObject("testtext") will give you an EmbeddedObject.

The doc for the EmbeddedObject class is here.
