Problem getting DFC session within a custom DFS WebService

Douglas.CRPaes

Hi.

I'm trying to develop a custom webservice using the DFS SDK tools using the WSDL-first approach.

I've used the the “generateService” task in order to generate my server client code.

Inside of the getDocument method code, I've tried to get a DFC session using the following code:

(from DFS 6.6 Development Guide)

IDfSessionManager manager = null;

IDfSession session = null;

try {

manager = DfcSessionManager.getSessionManager();

session = manager.getSession(dataObject.getIdentity().getRepositoryName());

// do DFC stuff with DFC session

} catch (DfException e) {

throw new ServiceException("E_EXCEPTION_STRING", e, dataObject.getIdentity());

} finally {

if (manager != null && session != null) {

manager.release(session);

}

But every single time I call the method, I get this error message:

ServiceException has occurred.

com.emc.documentum.ws.test.ServiceException

: Authorization failed, could not find identities in service context with token "temporary/127.0.0.1-1369139103688-3706247520840938757"

I've also tried to use the code below, in which I tried to create a new session, without counting on DFC sessions being managed by DFS:

	IDfClientX clientX = new DfClientX();
	IDfClient client = clientX.getLocalClient();

	IDfSessionManager sessionManager = client.newSessionManager();

	IDfLoginInfo loginInfo = clientX.getLoginInfo();
	loginInfo.setUser(userName);
	loginInfo.setPassword(password);
	loginInfo.setDomain("");
	sessionManager.setIdentity(repoName, loginInfo);

return sessionManager;

but the same error occour.

I've read that I need to set a valid service context in the SOAP header, but I'm still trying to get this done.

My questions are:

Can I create a fresh new DFC session using pure DFC code without the DFS intervention?

Do I have to create this service context even though my custom service is annotated with "requiresAuthentication = false"?

Can I insert empty service context in the SOAP header? Or it's needed to have a full service context, containing username, password and repository name, even though my custom service is taking care of the process of creating and releasing DFC sessions?

Thanks in advance.

Please consider moving this question as-is (no need to recreate) to the proper forum for maximum visibility. Questions written to the users' own "Discussions" space don't get the same amount of attention and questions can go unanswered for a long time.

You can do so by selecting "Move" under ACTIONS along the upper-right. Then search for and select: "Documentum" (Developer Network) which would be the most relevant for this question.

Seeing though that over one month has elapsed since you posted, maybe you have already found the answer (possibly opened up a ticket with support)? If so, once relocated, consider sharing the resolution and also marking the question as "Answered" so that it can help others that have the same question. If not, once relocated, it will then have more visibility by the community of dedicated customers, partners, and EMC employees that are eager to assist.
