Renderer and the documents id within the DocumentStore

[scoobymib3.scoobymib3.aol.com]

Hi,

I have a class which renders a number of PDF's and then saves them into a database. I am having a problem, once the document is rendered, getting the appropriate document from the document store. Everything is working as it should but I am hard coding the id in as 1 so the document that it stores is never correct.

How can I dynamically get the id of the document I have just rendered?

private byte[] createBytes() {
          EmptyFacesContext emptyFacesContext = new EmptyFacesContext();
          Context conversation = Contexts.getConversationContext();
          byte[] bytes = null;
          
          try {

               Renderer renderer = Renderer.instance();
               String id = renderer.render("/restrict/requests/templates/notice.xhtml");

               DocumentStore doc = DocumentStore.instance();
               
               if (doc != null) {
                    DocumentData data = doc.getDocumentData("1");                    
                    DocumentData byteData = null;
                    if (data instanceof DocumentData) {
                         byteData = (DocumentData) data;
                    } else {
                         throw new IllegalArgumentException("Couldnt get the bytes from the pdf document, unknown class " + data.getClass().getName());
                    }
                    bytes = byteData.getData();
               }

               return bytes;

          } catch (Exception ex) {
               ex.printStackTrace();               
               return null;
          } finally {
               emptyFacesContext.restore();
          }
     }

Thanks in advance for your help...

Cheers
Martin
