You can use the REST API of Alfresco, I think it is more easy than use SOAP messages.
You can find more information about all the exposed methods here:
http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/
You can find all the methods with all the needed input arguments.

Using HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) you can manage contents in Alfresco remotely :wink:

Hope this helps.

Hey I have a query…

Does alfresco use PUT and DELETE functions as well internally in addition to GET and POST?

Since PUT and DELETE have a lot of security issues.

Yes.
PUT will generally be used for an "update to an existing object"
DELETE will generaly be used for "delete an existing object".
POST is "create a new object"
and GET is "read an object".

hey..thnx for the reply..
Is there any way to secure those PUT and DELETE methods since our security team has issues with these methods being used by Alfresco as they have less security against hacks.
