To use Alfresco Web Service Client, you need to follow this process:

1. Download alfresco-web-service-client.jar from the download page;
2. Add it to classpath of your application and in this way you can use it as a library;
3. You don't need to use webserviceclient.properties, you can also invoke this method to set Alfresco repository endpoint address:

WebServiceFactory.setEndpointAddress("http://localhost:8080/alfresco/api");
‍‍‍

4. Here you can find more info about how to use Alfresco Web Service Client in Java.

Hope this helps.

I suggest to use the webserviceclient.properties , you can add this file in your project (if you use a framework like me).
Good luck

I don't know if this is correct or not but when I use "http://localhost:9090/alfresco/api" link the browser, it prompts me for the id and pw. After giving the correct credentials, I am getting some JSON code : {"list":{"pagination":{"count":1,"hasMoreItems":false,"totalItems":1,"skipCount":0,"maxItems":100},"entries":[{"entry":{"id":"-default-","quotas":[],"isEnabled":true}}]}}

Now, I have few things to confirm :
1) The output that I see in the browser is correct or not as given above.
2) When I use this end point URL in my 3rd party application, seems like I am not able to connect even after providing the correct credentials. The error I am getting is :
org.alfresco.webservice.util.WebServiceException: Error starting session.
at org.alfresco.webservice.util.AuthenticationUtils.startSession(AuthenticationUtils.java:94)
3) I followed your steps but kind of unclear to me that after I download the Webservice jar file where should I deploy. However, I deploy at "C:\Alfresco\tomcat\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\lib"; hope this is correct. Even after I deployed this, still no luck unless I deploy at the wrong place as I don't have any classpath setup.

I am using Alfresco Version: Community - v4.2.0 (r56674-b4848).

I don't know what is the issue here but your help is much appreciated.

Thank you.

Am I right, that one can only authenticate a single user at one single alfresco with this lib,
since you have to use static functions like "AuthenticationUtils.startSession(strUserName, strPassword);" ?

What would be the right lib for remote java access: alfresco-remote-api? But where to start here?
Any suggestions would be great.

Hello,

Could you tell me how you connected?

You are using something the I believe is no more supported.

What exactly do you want to do?

Maybe someone can give you other options.
