d.id will contain the ID of the file you just saved (starting with the line insert d).

You can write to a string, and save that string as a blob, or output the string in a visualforce page. By setting the contentType of a visualforce page to "text/plain", you can dump out the file as plain text.

I created a custom buttom that execute an apex method.

 

this method create the file (document d = new document();.......) and must return the url.

 

global class GenerateFile {

WebService static string Generer(string adr) {


Document d=new Document();

//d.FolderId='005d0000000bWCG';
d.FolderId=UserInfo.getUserId();
d.Name = 'my text file';
String myContent = 'ADDRESSSE : '+adr;
d.Body = Blob.valueOf(myContent);
d.ContentType = 'text/plain';
d.Type = 'txt';

insert d;

string IdFichier='';  // id file

string chemin='/servlet/servlet.FileDownload?file='+IdFichier;

return chemin;

}
}

 

how can i get the idFile ????
