Javadoc for the Alfresco WebService API

[junieboy]

Hi All,

I hope someone could point me out links where to download or get the javadoc/documentation for the org.alfresco.webservice classes i.e. webservice APIs.

Thanks.

I have searched my heart out for this aswell some months ago…

I even doubt it exists…

Use the wiki + lots of examples and that should give you a decent image of how to use everything.

Hi, were you looking for http://dev.alfresco.com/resource/docs/java/repository/index.html?overview-summary.html ?

The root page would be http://dev.alfresco.com/resource/docs/java/

Hey, great!
Now I ask: Where to download the appropriate library from providing those functionalities?

I tried to generate the classes from WSDL using wsimport. That throws a set of warnings and finally did not work either.

I found it - it is - if you download the SDK - under lib/remote

I discovered that the remote API does not seem to be contained somewhere in the javadoc linked above.

Again another example of outdated or mismatching documentation…  :cry:
It is really frustrating - plenty of APIs but neither one nor the other is a pleasure to use…

The javadoc for each version should also be in the SDK so there's no chance of mismatch.   And the one on dev/alfresco/resources is from the nightly build.    I've checked it is up to date.     Clearly there's an issue with the script that copies the remote-api-doc to the website that needs tracking down,

The remote-api-doc has been added to the SDK fairly recently.  It is on HEAD and will be included in 3.3.

You can build the javadoc from the source with "ant generate-javadocs-remoteapi"

In the meantime I've sent you a copy of the remote-api javadoc to your gmail account.

The remote-api-doc is already in the Enterprise 3.2 R SDK.   If you are an enterprise customer you can download it from the "downloads" page of alfresco network.

Examining the documentation after extracting and linking to the
library (I am on NetBeans 6.8), the Javadoc is not shown during
coding. Maybe because in the javadoc a package is named
org.alfresco.repo.webservice.repository.RepositoryWebService
but the part "repo." does not exist in the library.

The package of the remote API in my case is
org.alfresco.webservice.repository

The Remote-API documentation is now there -> http://dev.alfresco.com/resource/docs/java/remote-api/
