Alihammad,

I don't really understand your endeavor. What do you mean with "expose services" and what are "contents"? The information about files? Metadata? The files?

Regards,
Tim

The content of each file has its own URL so you don't need a web service for that.

You will find details of how to use the various web services in this forum e.g.

You can get the URL to the content via content web service:


Content theContent = contentService.read(new Predicate(theFile, null, null), Constants.PROP_CONTENT)[0];
String connStr = theContent.getUrl() + "?ticket=" + ticket;
‍‍‍‍

Then you can use whatever method to retrieve the contents themselves.

Hope that helps,
Tim
