Documentum webservice based on DFC and Axis

Hello,

I want to develop a webservice (based on DFC) which upload and download content to/from a docbase; for the upload part, there is no problem, but I don't know what kind of parameter should I pass to the upload method (the idea is that the user pass a local path as an argument, but I don't know how to treat it).

Can you help me ?

If you don't mind to use Documentum REST Services, the content download/upload is easy. Seeing:

Regarding your question about the parameter to specify the client local file path, you need to understand the separate process spaces between the client and the server. The server only accepts a POST method with (streaming) content binary in the body. On the client side, you can use HTML and/or JavaScript to open the file and make the POST method.

The REST HTML5 sample on GitHub may help you as well, GitHub - Enterprise-Content-Management/documentum-rest-client-html5.

I agree with William - there is already a REST API, and it doesn't add much overhead. If you want to restrict what can be done from outside, you could write a small service that forwards these requests to a docbase behind your firewall, using the REST API. The REST API is also extensible, so you can customize the API, adding or removing links, etc.
