Obtains read access, via an input stream, to the content data of this ContentTransfer object. The content data is fetched from the server. The Content Platform Engine will not automatically close the stream after access has finished; unless you want the stream to remain open, your application should close the stream after it has finished reading the content data.

Creates a new object that is a copy of the current instance.

Returns the identity of the metadata class from which this object is instantiated. If the object is newly created and a non-null value was provided for the classId parameter of the Factory createInstance method by which the object was created, this method returns that non-null value. In all other circumstances the symbolic name of the metadata class is returned.

Returns a Connection object that represents a logical connection to the Content Cortex domain. The returned Connection object is used as input to methods such as factory instantiation methods.

Returns a reference to the object store to which this object is persisted.

Returns a String array specifying the names of the superclasses of the class from which this object is instantiated.

Specifies an input stream as the source of content data for this object. The Content Engine will not automatically close the stream after access has finished; unless you want the stream to remain open, your application should close the stream once all of the content data has been read by the server. The stream can safely be closed after you have called the Save method of the independent object to which the content is being added.
