First, can you post your full class, any output the class generates, and your catalina.out? It's hard to help debug with just a partial listing.

Also, you said you are running Alfresco 3.0 but SDK 2.9. Was that a typo or are you purposefully running a mismatched repository and SDK? You might try re-compiling against the 3.0 SDK and trying again.

Also double-check that you've got a webserviceclient.properties file in your classpath that contains:

#
# Set the following property to reference the Alfresco server that you would like web service client
# to communicate with
repository.location=http://localhost:8080/alfresco/api‍‍‍‍

Hi,
I'm suffering from the same problem, though I'm using Alfresco 3.0 both on the server and the sdk.
I try:

AuthenticationUtils.startSession(”admin”, “admin”);‍

but it throws an axis exception that translates to 400 bad http request.

I tried looking at the code and it seems to throw that exception after invoking the call it creates.

I already verified that the call is indeed to my server's address, and I'm quite stuck..

Thanks,
Shai

I know you are doing a Web Services call, but can you verify that you can login via the /api/login web script, like this:

curl "http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/api/login?u=admin&pw=admin" ‍

Is this a custom class, one of the SDK examples, or one of the Someco examples?

Iam getting the same error session is not getting started 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;

}

Iam getting the following error: org.alfresco.webservice.util.WebServiceException: Error starting session.

As Jeff Potts is saying earlier on in this thread: can you login with the credentials you are using:


curl "http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/api/login?u=admin&pw=Password123"
