Hi Everybody, Whenever i try to run webservice examples in sdk,it looks like the webservice code uses the localhost by default.But i want to access remote alfresco server.Even i tried by changing the repository url like, repository.location=http://remote-server:8080 in the webserviceclient.pro

Kishore,

Move the webserviceclient.properties file from the package "alfresco.extension" to "alfresco" and it should work fine.

If you look into the source code of the webservice samples, the class "WebServiceFactory" is having a property as follows:

private static final String PROPERTY_FILE_NAME = "alfresco/webserviceclient.properties";

Probably this is a typographical mistake , you can observe the code is pointing a resource "alfresco/webserviceclient.properties"
and in fact that resource is there under "alfresco/extension/webserviceclient.properties".

Hence the application always pickingup the default "localhost" as the alfresco server to contact.

thanks for raising the code problem and reply,now i am able to point remote alfresco server and its working fine.

Surprising thing is,its look like the package location of properties file was wrongly coded but nobody observed the problem so far?

Thanks
