Retrieve file attachment

I've used the file attachment control in an Orbeon form. After retrieving the form data, the attachment control has the following value:

<control-17 filename="1.png" mediatype="image/png" size="187618"> /fr/service/persistence/crud/S2S_Forms/NSF_CoverPage_1_7V1_7/data/31a3fb75d99f8da6e56e1d9fa48072875ba1a0e1/a267e6f8b2c71bf515c13225eb4871b17532f9fc.bin

</control-17>

I'm aware that this is the path to file. I successfully received the a267e6f8b2c71bf515c13225eb4871b17532f9fc.bin file. This is in binary format. On renaming the file to a267e6f8b2c71bf515c13225eb4871b17532f9fc.png, I retrieved my uploaded image. Simple as that.

But is this the correct way to do so?

Hi Kush,

Yes, this is correct. And you've most likely already seen this, but just in
case, the original file name and mediatype for the file as reported by the
browser are available as attributes in the XML document. In your case:

filename="1.png"
mediatype="image/png"
