PK64848: WORKSPACE.GETBYID() SHOULD NOT FORCE LOAD THE RESOURCE BYTES FOR ANY

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Workspace.getById() should not force load the resource bytes for
  any file or image attachments.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• Problem Summary: Workspace.getById should only load the
  ComponentMap not the resourceByte as well.
  
  Detailed Problem Description:
  
  Workspace.getById should only load the ComponentMap not the
  resourceByte as well.  This can result in extensive memory usage
  if the items being retrieved have large file or image
  attachments.
  

Problem conclusion

• Problem Analysis:
  
  By calling forceLoad on the Controllable the componentMap is
  loaded but this also causes all the components to be forceLoaded
  as well.  This causes the resourceBytes of File and Image
  components to be loaded
  
  Failing Module: WCM - Web Content Management (General)
  
  Problem Solution:
  
  Instead of calling forceLoad we can look to see if the object is
  a CmpntMapper and call cmpntIterator instead. This will provide
  the same guarantee of loading the components but doesn't
  forceLoad them
