Alfresco web service authentication

I'm trying to connect to a remote Alfresco webservice using this java instrunction:

WebServiceFactory.setEndpointAddress(configFile.getProperty("WebServiceFactory"));

AuthenticationServiceSoapBindingStub authenticationService = (AuthenticationServiceSoapBindingStub) new AuthenticationServiceLocator().getAuthenticationService();

The authentication fails because the authority properties of AuthenticationServiceSoapBindingStub it's not remote URL but it's localhost:8080. How can I fix that?

the stack trace is:

AxisFault

thanks, Andrea

just put the webserviceclient.properties in the alfresco folder. Check the SDK for webservice client samples.

Alfresco reads the following propertie: repository.location=http://localhost:8080/alfresco/api

Hence this is the remote Alfresco location.

You have to write like following -

For Login -

WebServiceFactory.setEndpointAddress("http://" + remoteHostIp + ":" + port + "/alfresco/api");

AuthenticationUtils.startSession(strUserName, strPassword);

For Logout -

AuthenticationUtils.endSession();
