Basic concepts

Authentication

First, you must create the webservice object:

OKMWebservices ws = OKMWebservicesFactory.newInstance(host);

Then should login using the method “login”. You can access the “login” method from webservice object “ws” as is shown below:

ws.login(user, password);

Caution

Once you are logged with the webservices the session is keep in the webservice Object. Then you can use the other API method

At this point you can use all the Repository methods from “repository” class as is shown below:

ws.repository.getAppVersion();

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using com.openkm.sdk4csharp;
using com.openkm.sdk4csharp.exception;
using com.openkm.sdk4csharp.impl;

namespace OKMRest
{
public class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
String host = "http://localhost:8080/openkm";
String username = "okmAdmin";
String password = "admin";
OKMWebservice ws = OKMWebservicesFactory.newInstance(host);

try {
ws.login(user, password);
System.Console.WriteLine(ws.repository.getAppVersion().getVersion());
} catch (RepositoryException e) {
System.Console.WriteLine(e.ToString());
} catch (DatabaseException e) {
System.Console.WriteLine(e.ToString());
} catch (UnknowException e) {
System.Console.WriteLine(e.ToString());
} catch (WebserviceException e) {
System.Console.WriteLine(e.ToString());
}

System.Console.ReadKey();
}
}
}

Accessing API

OpenKM API classes are under com.openkm package, as can shown at this javadoc API summary.

Note

At main url http://docs.openkm.com/javadoc/ you’ll see all available javadoc documentation.

At the moment of writing this page, the actual OpenKM version was 7.1.5 what can change on time.

Tip

There is a direct correspondence between the classes and methods into, implemented at com.openkm.api packages and available from SDK for .NET.
