String code for content type of document. For example, "text/xml".

Populated when the reference type is FILE.

Reference to a Document on the LiveCycle ES server via its directory location.

Document contents are not referred to, but are included with this object.

Reference to a Document via a URL to LC server provided by the LiveCycle ES DocumentManager.

Reference Type - one of three supported types described above.

Populated when the reference type is URL.

Populated for an XML document when its contents are passed in-line.

   private function startUpload():void
  {     
    fileRef.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, selectHandler);
    fileRef.addEventListener("uploadCompleteData", completeHandler);
    try 
    {
  var success:Boolean = fileRef.browse();
    } 
    catch (error:Error) 
    {
  trace("Unable to browse for files.");
    }
        }
         private function selectHandler(event:Event):void {
    var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://SERVER:PORT/remoting/lcfileupload")
    try 
    {
        fileRef.upload(request);
    } 
    catch (error:Error) 
    {
  trace("Unable to upload file.");
    }
  }
       private function completeHandler(event:DataEvent):void 
  {
   
    var params:Object = new Object();
    var docRef:DocumentReference = new DocumentReference();
    docRef.url = event.data as String;
    docRef.referenceType = DocumentReference.REF_TYPE_URL;
  }
  

If the document is already on the server and its file location is known, set the referenceType field to REF_TYPE_FILE and the fileRef field to the location of the file on the server. For example:

  var docRef:DocumentReference = new DocumentReference();
     docRef.fileRef = "C:/temp/file1";
     docRef.referenceType=DocumentReference.REF_TYPE_FILE;
     

If the document is already on the server and its URL is known, set the referenceType field to URL and the url field to the REF_TYPE_URL. For example:

     var docRef:DocumentReference = new DocumentReference();
     docRef.url = "http://localhost:8080/DocumentManager/1168728809000/7855483216115920647";
     docRef.referenceType=DocumentReference.REF_TYPE_URL;
     

Flex clients will receive objects of type DocumentReference.as for LC operations that return Documents as output parameters. The DocumentReference object's referenceType will let the client know whether the content is in the DocumentReference object itself, DocumentReference.xml (the case for XML documents) or needs to be retrieved via a URL, DocumentReference.url. The DocumentReference.contentType field will let the client know the type of document.
