Hi deepak,

The resources are read-only,  you cannot use an extension to write data to those files by referring to them as resources of the module.

 use the extension anyway but use the file's path in the filesystem.

with Networkfilesystem component  you can achieve this:

Hi Rocky,


Do you know what is the default file path of Outsystems resources folder?

Thanks,

Hello Deepak N,

I'm just curious. Why do you want to do that? What's your requirement?

Cheers.

Lanz,

Why do you need access to the resources folder? I think it is not accessible from an extension/application, as this would be a big security breach.

And I can't see any reason why you should have direct access to it.

Could you explain your use case?

Cheers

For instance, the XMLSample has a resource, a binary content XML file that it uses in the example, though, I see no easy way to look at it.  How can we view or download the resource files in the data tab?
