My Reading List
In this InfoQ exclusive article Trent Swanson provides an overview of Microsoft Office SharePoint 2007 and its architecture. In SharePoint, developers can use RPC which provides a more robust object model than web services however it does not support remote operations. This is where web services must be utilized to support remote operations and gain interoperablity capabilities.
A solid understanding of IIS and ASP.NET is important when developing any SharePoint based solution. Trent provides examples that walk through both .NET and Java in this introductory article on working with SharePoint web services.

does Sharepoint support WSRP ? since I'd found any official resources about sharepoint interop through WSRP.

XSD files

In the article you mention under the "Download the XSD files" section that we can "Download the XSD files from <here>...." but <here> isn't actually a link to anything. Can you point me to the XSD files?

NTLM Authentication
by
Steve Reynolds
Thanks for posting the code. I have been trying to connect to the SharePoint Search Web Service via Axis2, but can not get it to work with NTLM Authentication. I am getting a similar error with your method: Exception in thread "main" com.sun.xml.internal.ws.client.ClientTransportException: request requires HTTP authentication: Unauthorized
I was wondering if any has tried this with NTLM Authentication. The SharePoint server I am connecting to has Basic Authentication turned off because it sends the credentials in plain text. Note: I provided a valid administrator username and password in Main.java. Looking at the BindingProvider API, I don't see any other properties that I need to provide. I'm out of ideas.

The xsd.zip file; the article says: this file contains the XSD along with the completed project.
but there are no other files in the xsd.zip,
are their any missing files ?
thanks again

This class is different from the generated xsd classes & is a wrapper class that the author refers to & the author says it is included in the xsd zip file ...
though i maybe wrong on this;
either way thnks

Thanks for the Article and for the different posts.
i modified the absolute path for the WSDL,and i modified the Main.java to point to my sharepoint server and to use the correct credentials.
i'm trying to run the code, i'm having this exception:
com.sun.xml.ws.client.ClientTransportException: request requires HTTP authentication: Unauthorized

Re: NTLM Authentication

I can get basic-authentication working but we need to get at least basic authentication with SSL or NTLM working.
For SSL I get an
java.lang.RuntimeException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Which suggest an object not populated that .NET is expecting.
Code:
I changed the URLS to be https:// for the ListsStub()
Authenticator auth = new Authenticator();
ArrayList authSchemes = new ArrayList();
authSchemes.add(AuthPolicy.BASIC);
auth.setAuthSchemes(authSchemes);
auth.setAllowedRetry(false);
auth.setUsername("doman\\name");
auth.setPassword("password");
auth.setPreemptiveAuthentication(true);
copyStub._getServiceClient().getOptions().setProperty(HTTPConstants.AUTHENTICATE, auth);
With NTLM I get Unable to respond to any of these challenges: {basic=Basic realm="melwwsinr08-basicauth"}
org.apache.axis2.AxisFault: Transport error: 401 Error: Unauthorized
code
HttpTransportProperties.Authenticator auth = new HttpTransportProperties.Authenticator();
auth.setUsername("ksteel");
auth.setPassword("object123#");
auth.setDomain("nt3gwm01");
auth.setHost("10.16.224.86");
auth.setRealm("");
// Ensure NTLM authentication used
List authPrefs = new ArrayList(1);
authPrefs.add(AuthPolicy.NTLM);
auth.setAuthSchemes(authPrefs);
//
copyStub._getServiceClient().getOptions().setProperty(HTTPConstants.AUTHENTICATE, auth);
Has anyone got working for SSL or can help further with NTLM ?

System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStore", "c:/client.keystore");
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword", "test12");
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStoreType", "JKS"); // JKS or PKCS12 ?
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore", "c:/client.keystore");
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword", "test12");
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStoreType", "JKS"); // JKS or PKCS12 ?
System.setProperty("javax.net.debug", "ssl");
And I can see the SSL debug happenning and the application data content type 23 going over the wire encrypted but it gets an error. as I said saying Object reference not set to an instance of object coming back.

org.apache.axis2.AxisFault: Transport error: 401 Error: Unauthorized
by
Stefaan Somers
There are 2 important questions I have :
- how can I check which authentication mechanism is used (NTLM or BASIC)
- can I get a more clear response, indicating me where the problem lies. Unauthorized is a bit too general. Moreover with the same user-name & password I can open the sharepoint URL for the list webservices.
If anyone wants I can send the jar-file so he can try out for himself. I create a test-sharepoint side, where you can work on.
Any help would be most welcome
Re: XSD files

Also, can you explain, how these XSD files were generated? Or can we get them from sharepoint server?
I wanted to interact with remaining services from the sharepoint server (from java).

I had the same problem and solved it by enabling Basic Authentication for the WebApplication in the central administration (Application Management -> Authentication Providers).
Hope that helps,

This code:
BindingProvider bp = (BindingProvider)qsp;
//bp.getRequestContext().put(BindingProvider.USERNAME_PROPERTY, "Administrator");
//bp.getRequestContext().put(BindingProvider.PASSWORD_PROPERTY, "pass@word1");
bp.getRequestContext().put(BindingProvider.ENDPOINT_ADDRESS_PROPERTY,
"http://barbie/_vti_bin/spsearch.asmx");
doesn't work with ListsSoap.:/ I get error 401.
Anyone can help?
Re: XSD files

Reading a SharePoint list with Java: tutorial.
Basically the workaround to a lot of authentication problems (NTLM, SSL, ...) is to use a local copy of the WSDL file to generate stubs (just save it from your browser). After that, the Web Services just use a simple login/password problem.
I hope this helps.
Cheers,
David D.

NTLM authentication fails with org.apache.axis2.AxisFault: Transport error: 401 Error: Unathorized.
The question is: I have a user in a domain DOMAIN\user and the server is on port 8888. how to put it in the code because I believe this is a source of the problem?
My code:
import java.rmi.RemoteException;
import java.util.ArrayList;

import org.apache.axis2.transport.http.HTTPConstants;
import org.apache.axis2.transport.http.HttpTransportProperties;
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.auth.AuthPolicy;
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
HttpTransportProperties.Authenticator auth = new HttpTransportProperties.Authenticator();
auth.setUsername ("user");
auth.setPassword ("pass");
auth.setDomain ("DOMAIN");
auth.setHost("host");
auth.setPort(8888);
auth.setRealm(null);
auth.setPreemptiveAuthentication(true);
List<String> authPrefs = new ArrayList<String>(1);
authPrefs.add((String)AuthPolicy.NTLM);
auth.setAuthSchemes(authPrefs);
ListsStub lists;
try {
lists = new ListsStub();
lists._getServiceClient ().getOptions().setProperty (HTTPConstants.AUTHENTICATE, auth);
Options options = lists._getServiceClient().getOptions();
options.setSoapVersionURI(Constants.URI_SOAP11_ENV);
ListsStub.GetListCollection req = new ListsStub.GetListCollection();
ListsStub.GetListCollectionResponse res;
System.out.println();
res = lists.GetListCollection (req);
System.out.println(res.toString());
} catch (AxisFault e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (RemoteException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}

Re: QueryOptions
by
Leonid Sokolin
I need to get a list of subfolders and it is apparently possible, if Folder option is specified as follows:
<QueryOptions><Folder>MyDocuments\\MyFolder</Folder></QueryOptions>
I am not sure though how to assign this value to GetListItems.QueryOptions.
ERROR_NO_RESPONSE
by
blue fish
I'm also struggling with java and sharepoint search/query service, unable to get any query to work.
I've dl the source, modified Main.java to point to our sharepoint server search.asmx/spsearch.asmx. Initially I got error 401, since our server only have windows authentication enabled; so I just enabled Basic auth, just for test purpose; I get response below.
Server Status: ONLINE
Response Status: ERROR_NO_RESPONSE
any help is greatly appreciated
thx
Re: ERROR_NO_RESPONSE
by
blue fish
also, how to get .xsd files (from java environment)?
I can only get wsdl file from sharepoint server.
main.java
bp.getRequestContext().put(BindingProvider.ENDPOINT_ADDRESS_PROPERTY, "http://myserver/_vti_bin/search.asmx"); //okay, got result
// bp.getRequestContext().put(BindingProvider.ENDPOINT_ADDRESS_PROPERTY, "http://myserver/_vti_bin/spsearch.asmx"); //Server Status: ONLINE Response Status: ERROR_NO_RESPONSE
