Using SoapUI to access the CMIS web services

eliseosoto — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 22:07:59 GMT

Here's an overview of what I've done so far in order to use the CMIS Web Service implementation using the SoapUItool.This assumes that you have the Alfresco Labs 3 Server running with the default admin/admin username.The first thing I do is add this WSDL to SoapUI: http://localhost:8080/alfresco/wsd

What works for me is:

1) Don't bother getting a token
2) Set the password to admin instead of a token
3) Ensure you also add a timestamp WSS entry with a sensible Time to Live value

Let me know if that works for you.

Hi Paul,

I tried using passwordtext, passworddigest (ticket from authenticationservice /authentication webscript), none works.
Is CMIS working for you? If yes, Could you help us by posting sample SOAP header (similar to the one which works).

I'm trying to access services through SOAPUI2.2 client and not successful, it gives 'The security token could not be authenticated or authorized' error.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

i am tryin to use cmisws.wsdl web service which is provided by alfresco.. but when i'm trying to execute any of the method it is asking for authentication..though im sending it in header..Example for getRepositoryInfo..

Hi,
    I'm trying to do load balancing between two alfresco server. But I'm getting below error.
    When both alfresco server and Apache HTTP server is up; and uploads content with alfresco web service client then in alfresco log file below error comes and the content is not uploaded in any alfresco server.
I'm using web services to upload content in alfresco.
With one alfresco with Apache HTTP server is working fine means content uploads in alfresco. But when both server is up and running then in the case I'm getting the error.

Error:
16:18:58,536 DEBUG [org.apache.axis.EXCEPTIONS] AxisFault:

Prerequisite:

                   Apache HTTP Server
                   Mod JK Tomcat Connector

I've also done clustering and failover, both are working fine as of now, only issue is with load balancing.
Below are details:
worker.properties file

Server.xml changes in both alfresco server.

               connectionTimeout="20000"
               redirectPort="8443" />

Same has done for second server.

Please resolve my issue. I'm struggling like anything.

Re: Using SoapUI to access the CMIS web services

jmetzger — Tue, 29 May 2012 21:49:13 GMT

Sorry if I am being dense, but I'm not sure exactly how to follow the steps that Paul provided. What is throwing me is that the tutorial provided by Jeff Potts uses Curl, and I'm not sure how that relates to soapui. It may be my ignorance in how to send the login credentials. Could someone please show me an example of a soap message that included the credentials?

>> 1. Don't bother getting a token
fine
>> 2. Set the password to admin instead of a token
where?
>> 3. Ensure you also add a timestamp WSS entry with a sensible Time to Live value
again, where? Can this be part of the soap:Header contents?

Thanks for any help!
Jim

The following message worked very well for me in SoapUI, once I adjusted the timestamps to reflect the current time. I also loaded the RepositoryService WSDL into SoapUI, and used http://cmis.alfresco.com/cmis/RepositoryService as my endpoint.
