CSSDK client installation is required or not ?

pranav

Envoironment ::

>> Teamsite Server 6.1 SP2 on W2K(SP4)
>>Plumtree portal 4.5 on IIS
>> Gadgets are written in java and running on Tomcat 4.5
All three are running on different domains.

Here i am talking about one specific gadget which is interacting (Doing all activities, submitting to teamsite , fetching workflow jobs and tasks from teamsite and providing the approvers the facility to approve or disapprove the task from GUI on portal) with teamsite.
Here we have 2 teamsite servers , same configuration.Lets say TS1 & TS2
And two gadget servers(gadgets running on tomcat on both). Say, GS1 & GS2

Gadget on GS1 is successfully able to connect to TS1 .But when i try to connect GS2 with TS2 it is unable to do so ?

After investigation I could find one difference B/W GS1 & GS2. on GS1 CSSDK client is installed but on GS2 CSSDK client installation
is missing .

My queries :::

1) Do we need to have CSSDK client installed on both the gadget servers, For gadgets to talk to teamsite servers ?
2) Gadgets are using cssdksoap.jar , cssdkaiface.jar and cssdkjni.jar for creating client and manipulating activities
with teamsite.
So, all these three jars are same like the ones which is residing on CSSDK server om teamsite
(infact cssdksoap.jar is not there inside cssdk folder on teamsite server ).Why we need cssdksoap.jar when we are talk about
CSSDK interaction ?
3) Gadget is using cssdk.properties file to initialize the soap activity.
these are the lines in this property file Smiley Embarassed

# creates a CS SOAP factory
com.interwoven.cssdk.factory.CSFactory=com.interwoven.cssdk.factory.CSSOAPFactory
# use the machine name and HTTP port of the ContentServices SOAP server
serviceBaseURL=http://TS1:80

What is the meaning of these 2 lines ?

I am sorry , i am asking to much from you guys but i am unable to get these details in the documentation of cssdk .Infact portal <----> teamsite interaction is nowhere available, not even on support center.

1) Yes you need it on any remote server that plans on communicating with a TeamSite server
2) You do not need cssdkjni.jar (that is for local server communication. You will need cssdkiface.jar and cssdksoap.jar to communicate from your remote servers to the TeamSite servers
3) The cssdk.properties file says that you are going to be creating content services interactions using SOAP (which is required for remote actions) and you will be using the TeamSite server called TS1 over port 80.

Teamsite services exposes 2 tech for higher level services to communicate with Teamsite server(core functionality) one is JNI and the other is SOAP msgs. Which tech to use depends upon the architecture you are using.
JNI has got better performance and is used where your GS and TS are running on same host
SOAP is used where GS and TS are running on different hosts. It is used for remote communication through xml messages and TS is used as web services. What I understand from your design that GS and TS are running on different servers , so in this case you need to have ccsdk clients installed on GS machines which will use ccsdkSOAP to communicate with TS. You don't need to have ccsdkjni.jar in this case.

ccsdk.properties files mentions which tech to use(JNI or SOAP). which is picked by CSFactory object on the fly, so switching between the two becomes easier.

For JNI you give
com.interwoven.cssdk.factory.CSFactory=com.interwoven.cssdk.factory.
cssdk.cfg.path=c:/iw-home/cssdk/cssdk.cfg

For SOAP you give
com.interwoven.cssdk.factory.CSFactory=com.interwoven.cssdk.factory.CSSOAPFactory
serviceBaseURL=http://ts1:80#(macine name and port)

I ve a pdf may be it will be help ful to you but i m not able to attach it, please send me your email id where i can send it to you.

I think many people would be interested in that.

Perhaps you could attach it in the tech library.

Right, if you would like to submit an article for the tech lib we would very much appreciate it.

You can do so here:

PDF I m talking about is actually CCSDK cook book i downloaded from support site, Chapter 1 & 2 covers details of architecture of ccsdk with soap and JNI , differences and usage through sample code. so probably i wouldn't be able to put that in tech library but it is available on support site.

pritesh--- thanks for the detailed help--one last thing if i am implementing cssdk sample in the env. which is also having teamsite server then
shall i use soap services or JNI services in the sampleapp.properties file ?
My Env::
Teamsite server(6.1 SP2) on windows and tomcat server 5.0 on the same BOX.

JNI if on the same box
