To access the Alfresco APIs you would normally inject (via Spring) the ServiceRegistry bean. This may be difficult to do for custom Web Service classes, so you can also use the ApplicationContextHelper (http://dev.alfresco.com/resource/docs/java/repository/org/alfresco/util/ApplicationContextHelper.html) to statically retrieve it, if need be (note that this isn't as elegant as using dependency injection, so try to use that if you can).

As for packaging extensions and deploying them to Alfresco, the recommended approach is to use an AMP file (http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/AMP_Files), in conjunction with the Module Managament Tool (http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Module_Management_Tool).

Hi,
Though I have worked on Web Services, I am new to Alfresco. I was trying to create and deploy a "Hello World" Web Service in Alfresco, but i couldn't succeed. I have followed the same old instructions given in the following link except the fact that I have used "Top Down Approach" for creating a web service (generate code from WSDL)
http://forums.alfresco.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=11113
1. Created a sample WSDL using eclipse
2. Generated the code for the WSDL using axis
3. Copied the content server-config.wsdd (generated one) in the server-config.wsdd of the alfresco.
4. Copied the WSDL in \wsdl folder
5. Copied the jar file in \lib folder
6. Restarted the server

After that, when i try to access the service (http://localhost:8080/alfresco/NewWSDLFile/NewOperation) I am getting Resource Not Found error ie 404. I feel some configuration is missing in the process.

Can anybody help me out please?

server-config.wsdd entry

<service name="NewWSDLFile" provider="java:RPC" style="document" use="literal">
