Get full asset details

There are times when we need to inspect all the fields of asset or either to perform other tasks. One can find all the details of any asset using the following method:

Using Tag:

	<asset:load name="thisAsset" objectid='<%= ics.GetVar("cid")%>' type='<%= ics.GetVar("type")%>'/>
	<asset:scatter name="thisAsset" prefix="thisAsset"/>
	<%
	for (Enumeration e = ics.GetVars(); e.hasMoreElements();) {
	String varName = (String)e.nextElement();
	if (varName.startsWith("thisAsset:")){
	out.println("VarName: " + varName + " = " + ics.GetVar(varName));
	}
	}
	%>

Using Asset API

	<%
	Session sess = SessionFactory.getSession(ics);
	long assetid = Long.parseLong(ics.GetVar("cid"));
	String assettype = ics.GetVar("c");
	out.println("reading asset " + assetid + " of type " + assettype + "<p/>");
	AssetId aid = new AssetIdImpl(assettype, assetid);
	AssetDataManager adm = (AssetDataManager) sess.getManager(AssetDataManager.class.getName());
	Iterable <AssetData > assets = adm.read(Collections.singletonList(aid));
	for (AssetData a: assets) {
	out.println("found " + a.getAssetId() + " of type " + a.getAssetTypeDef().getName() + "<br/>");
	// get all core field + attributes
	for (AttributeData attr : a.getAttributeData()) {
	out.println(" found attribute: " + attr.getAttributeName() + " = " + attr.getData() + "<br/>");
	}
	// get immediate parents
	for (AssetId imparents : a.getImmediateParents()) {
	out.println(" found immediate parent: " + imparents.getType() + ":" + imparents.getId() + "<br/>");
	}
	// get parents
	for (AssetId parents : a.getParents()) {
	out.println(" found parent: " + parents.getType() + ":" + parents.getId() + "<br/>");
	}
	// get associations
	for (AssetAssociationDef assoc : a.getAssetTypeDef().getAssociations()) {
	out.println(" found assoc: " + assoc.getName() + " child=" + assoc.getChildAssetType() + "<br/>");
	for (AssetId assocAsset : a.getAssociatedAssets(assoc.getName())) {
	out.println(" found associated asset: " + assocAsset.getType() + ":" + assocAsset.getId() + "<br/>");
	}
	}
	}
	%>
