# NodeAttachmentService

`class NodeAttachmentService : AttachmentStorage, AcceptsFileUpload`

Stores attachments in the specified local directory, which must exist. Doesnt allow new attachments to be uploaded.

### Exceptions

OnDiskHashMismatch | `class OnDiskHashMismatch : Exception`

### Constructors

<init> | `NodeAttachmentService(storePath: Path, metrics: <ERROR CLASS>)` Stores attachments in the specified local directory, which must exist. Doesnt allow new attachments to be uploaded.

### Properties

acceptableFileExtensions | `val acceptableFileExtensions: <ERROR CLASS>` What file extensions are acceptable for the file to be handed to upload()
automaticallyExtractAttachments | `var automaticallyExtractAttachments: Boolean` If true, newly inserted attachments will be unzipped to a subdirectory of the storePath. This is intended for human browsing convenience: the attachment itself will still be the file (that is, edits to the extracted directory will not have any effect).
checkAttachmentsOnLoad | `var checkAttachmentsOnLoad: Boolean`
dataTypePrefix | `val dataTypePrefix: String` A string that prefixes the URLs, e.g. "attachments" or "interest-rates". Should be OK for URLs.
metrics | `val metrics: <ERROR CLASS>`
storePath | `val storePath: Path`

### Functions

importAttachment | `fun importAttachment(jar: InputStream): SecureHash` Inserts the given attachment into the store, does not close the input stream. This can be an intensive operation due to the need to copy the bytes to disk and hash them along the way.
openAttachment | `fun openAttachment(id: SecureHash): Attachment?` Returns a newly opened stream for the given locally stored attachment, or null if no such attachment is known. The returned stream must be closed when you are done with it to avoid resource leaks. You should probably wrap the result in a JarInputStream unless youre sending it somewhere, there is a convenience helper for this on Attachment.
upload | `fun upload(data: InputStream): <ERROR CLASS>` Accepts the data in the given input stream, and returns some sort of useful return message that will be sent back to the user in the response.
