dynamic video issue

[grburgos]

Hi all
I have been working on having videos stored in a DB. but I seem to be having a problem that is bottling me for some while.

I tried using Cagaty's example of streaming videos and it worked, but once I wish to extend this it falls apart.

On the video streaming example the pojo is static. As It can contain 1 video at a time. My extension was to have a container that would have several dynamically filled "video streaming examples", but when tested it doesnt return the video. I checked the mime-type returned, and its text/html and not the value set that is video/quicktime.

If i remove the carousel and just place A media and bind it to mediaStreamer class calling GetVideo() it workes, but its only one A video at a time...

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

here's the code:

Code: Select all

<p:carousel value="#{News.news}" var="headline" itemStyle="height:400px;width:600px" autoPlayInterval="2000" rows="1" effect="easeIn" circular="true" style="width:50%;margin:auto;">
                    <p:tab title="#{headline.fileName}">
                        <p:media style="z-index:-1" value="#{headline.media}" width="600" height="400" player="quicktime">
                            <f:param name="cache" value="true"/>
                            <f:param name="controller" value="true"/>
                            <f:param name="autoplay" value="false"/>
                        </p:media>
                    </p:tab>
  </p:carousel>

        //look in the DB for all the info.
        Connection Con = null;
        try {
            InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
            DataSource ds = (DataSource) ctx.lookup("portalgc");
            Con = ds.getConnection();
            String fetchSql = "select * from portalgc.media";
            PreparedStatement ps = Con.prepareStatement(fetchSql);
            ResultSet rs = ps.executeQuery();
            while (rs.next()) {
                _news.add(new MediaStreamer(rs.getString("MediaName"), rs.getString("MediaExtension"), rs.getString("MediaMimeType"), rs.getBinaryStream("MediaContent")));
