---------------------------------------------
Summary: Remove the SOAP API from the Alfresco Connector
Key: CONNECTORS-602
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONNECTORS-602
Project: ManifoldCF
Issue Type: Task
Components: Alfresco connector
Reporter: Piergiorgio Lucidi
Assignee: Piergiorgio Lucidi
Taking a look at the Alfresco roadmap, it seems that during the next 18 months
the CML SOAP API will not be supported anymore:
[http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Product_Roadmap#End-of-life_3]
The history of this connector is not happy, during the first step I asked to
some Alfresco guys about the life of the SOAP API and I was assured that it
would not be finished.
Anyway this is not the best API exposed by Alfresco, for many reasons
developers should use the REST API as their first choice.
The SOAP API was the only one API that allows to invoke Lucene queries without
implementing new customizations/extensions on Alfresco.
Now we have an official confirmation that the life of this SOAP API ends during
the end of this year and the begin of the next one.
My idea is to do a brainstorming with some Alfresco guys to understand together
which APIs we should use to reimplement the connector.
I would like to use the current HTTP services without installing nothing on the
Alfresco side. But I have to check with them if this solution is feasible.
I hope to have good news soon.
