Hi,

I solved the problem.

We just need to insert the following piece of code before trying login to alfresco.

WebServiceFactory.setEndpointAddress("http://10.232.10.171:8080/alfresco/api");

The url is the url in which the alfresco webservice api works.

Nishant

Why would you like to edit AuthenticationUtils.java ,you don't need to edit.
just call


         WebServiceFactory.setEndpointAddress("http://localhost:8080/alfresco/api/");
         AuthenticationUtils.startSession("admin", "admin");
….

Then you can do whatever you want to

Iam getting the same error session is not getting started even after including WebServiceFactory.setEndpointAddress("http://192.168.1.90:8484/alfresco/api"); Iam using the code below to download a file

public String webService(String dir, String fileName) throws Exception

{

String downloadURL = null;
try {

System.out.println("dir ::" + dir);

System.out.println("fileName ::" + fileName);

// Start the session
WebServiceFactory.setEndpointAddress("http://127.0.0.1:8080/alfresco/api");
AuthenticationUtils.startSession("admin", "Password123");

String ticket = AuthenticationUtils.getTicket();

// Create a reference to the parent where we want to create content

Store storeRef = new Store(Constants.WORKSPACE_STORE, "SpacesStore");

// Reference reference = new Reference(storeRef, null,

// "/app:company_home/cmsmileyCMCOE/cm:COE1/*[@cm:name=\"" +

// "eProfilerPPT" + "\"]");

// Create a new Reference to the node you want (variable path here).

String path = dir + "*[@cm:name=\"" + fileName + "\"]";

Reference reference = new Reference(storeRef, null, path);

ContentServiceSoapBindingStub contentService = WebServiceFactory

.getContentService();

// Read the content from the respository

Content[] readResult = contentService.read(new Predicate(

new Reference[] { reference }, storeRef, null),

Constants.PROP_CONTENT);

Content contentRef = readResult[0];

// Get the ticket URL as above and the downloadURL here points to

// the url where the content is present.

System.out.println("contentRef.getUrl() : " + contentRef.getUrl());

String ticketURL = "?ticket=" + ticket;

downloadURL = contentRef.getUrl() + ticketURL;

System.out.println("downloadURL in webService(): " + downloadURL);

} catch (Throwable e) {

System.out.println(e.toString());

} finally {

// End the session

// AuthenticationUtils.endSession();

}

return downloadURL;

}

What can be my directory if the file to be downloaded is in a site created by me called "mysite" document library in alfresco share

Iam using Alfresco community edition 5.0.d
