Class ProfileImage

java.lang.Object

org.sakaiproject.profile2.model.ProfileImage

public class ProfileImage
extends Object

ProfileImageResource

This is a wrapper class which contains fields for all types of profile images. Only one field will be set at any given time.

Use the getBinary or getUrl methods to do the work and return the data as either a String or byte[]. If String, this will be a URL/URI you can use directly. If byte[] this will be the uploaded image. Consult both.

Note. Eventually, this will return only Strings. The byte[] will be base64 encoded and returned as a data URI you can use, however this is not supported in browsers older than IE8 (Safari, Firefox, Chrome, all ok though).

You can get alt text for the image via getAltText()

This is not related to the similarly named hibernate model (hbm.model.ProfileImage)
