SDK 1.4 Preview: Errors trying to run Samples

[osu]

Hi,

has anyone tried out the samples with the SDK 1.4 Preview?

I had to correct a couple of the dependency jars in the eclipse projects provided (mostly due to naming/version issues in the jars).

Now, the the projects finally build without errors, but I am getting the following exception when trying to run any of the samples:

Exception in thread "main" org.alfresco.webservice.util.WebServiceException: Error starting session.

The sample is run from my local workstation with the SDK 1.4 preview workspace against a windows box with a 1.4 preview community edition (fresh install). The web client on that box is running fine, by the way.

I have a similar setup with all 1.3 where the problem does not occur and the samples are running fine.

Any idea what is going on there?

Thanks for the good work so far. Looking forward to your hints.

Oliver.

I had a problem with the v1.4 too,
I checked the WebServiceFactory class and saw this:

private static final String DEFAULT_ENDPOINT_ADDRESS = "http://localhost:8080/alfresco/api";‍

instead of just "http://localhost:8080" in the previous versions.

so I changed the repository.location in webserviceclient.properties and add /alfresco/api at the end of the repository address and now it's working fine.
It seems the Alfresco team forgot to update this file in the SDK.
