Hi All,I am integrationg my Application through Web service sapproach. The Alfresco server is on remote location. I am able to create the session with Alfresco server, where I got the Authentication ticket as well. Now I suppose we have to use this ticket in each sub sequent calls to Alfresco wsdls

Hi Pal1984,

is there a reason why you don't use the alfresco web service library? You don't need to care about headers or whatever, just write code like

ticket = authenticationService.authenticate("username", "password")‍

Quite forward, ain't it?

Hello Tim-Erwin ,

Thanks for your reply. Actually I tried using the webservices APIs directly, but there is some compatibility issues with the tool-teamworks which is calling these API, does not recognise the outputs given by these APIs. But when I am calling through WSDL that tool makes it easy to map the input/output parameters. Hence that is the approach.

The WSDls are discovered by teamoworks, but suppose if I call simple getStores() method, I get below error which is related to some parsing, I do not underatnd why this is coming.

Error processing WSDL document:
WSDLException (at /wsdl:definitions/wsdl:types/schema): faultCode=OTHER_ERROR: An error occurred trying to resolve schema referenced at '/alfresco/wsdl/headers.xsd', relative to 'http://<INSTALLED_SERVER>:8080/alfresco//wsdl/repository-service.wsdl'.: no content-type: java.net.UnknownServiceException: no content-type

Do you have any suggestions? What are the exact steps to consume Alfresco web services?

Thanks

To be honest, I have no idea how to talk with Alfresco in SOAP directly, sorry. Can't you convert the web service types like result sets and so to what you need? Good luck…
