Example using your Web Services API

[stephenmcgloin]

Hi,

I am looking at using the alfresco web services API to pull content out of my alfresco system. Is there any simple examples availible to help me get started. There is a link to an example on the website but there is nothing there. Any help would be much appreciated, its a great CMS, very impressed so far.

Regards
Stephen

Hi Stephen,

I'm just currently working to close out the web service implementation before the next release and yes, there are no examples currently available in the Wiki.

If you need some examples now (and you have the code) then have a look in  org.alfresco.example.webservice.*  Here you will find the unit tests for the Java client.  They are not the best examples we could provide, but for now they should get you started.

There is also the starts of a PHP client example in the same Remote API project in source/php.

In the mean time I'll attempt to make some time to put some examples onto the Wiki. 

If you have any further questions let me know,

Thanks,
Roy

Hi,
I'm working on an application which bulk uploads the documents into Alfresco DMS repository and also creates the taxonomy structure,metadata of the file by reading an xml file. This i have done using Web Services API.
Now i want to extend this application as a bulk extracter in which i want to extract the content out of Alfresco repository to the file system. Can i have any sample program which extract the files and also the taxonomy and metadata corrosponding to any file from Alfresc repository to the file system.
