Hi,

I'm changing our Alfresco 4.1.6 to an Alfresco 5.0.

When I execute this code from Java

WebServiceFactory.setEndpointAddress(endPoint);
AuthenticationResult result = WebServiceFactory.getAuthenticationService().startSession(username, password);  
‍‍‍‍

and points to our old Alfresco 4.1.6 (with a url http://10.120.X.XXX:8080/alfresco/api) works ok and connect.

But when I execute that code on our new Alfresco (with the same url "/alfresco/api" but new IP) it returns a exception.

We still use the same web-service-client library (alfresco-webservice-client-2.1.jar). Alfresco 5.0 not works witj this library? Or maybe the url to start the session are different?

When I call to this url with a browser returns me an org.alfresco.webservice.util.WebServiceException: Error starting session.

{"list":{"pagination":{"count":1,"hasMoreItems":false,"totalItems":1,"skipCount":0,"maxItems":100},"entries":[{"entry":{"quotas":[],"isEnabled":true,"id":"-default-"}}]}}

What's the problem? Someone knows it?

That looks like the old SOAP API which is no longer provided.   In addition the URL for "api" was reused for the public REST API.
