lapi for Content Server10

I have been using LIvelink since 1 year and spent some time fixing minor issues.
I am migrating a java based project from LL9.7.1 to Content Server 10

In LL9.7.1 I used to access the server using lapi.jar, I Found no information regarding a csapi jar in the knowledge centre however I got this file from my Content Server 10 installation and it seems my java code is able to access the Content Server “OPENTEXT\application\WEB-INF\lib\CSAPI.jar”
Can anyone confirm if csapi is the right substitute for lapi.

There is no CS 10 version of LAPI. LAPI was deprecated as of CS 10, but the 9.7.1 version of LAPI should still work with CS 10.

To update LAPI applications you should consider using CWS instead (the web services API for Content Server).

The server side software does know how to react to LAPI calls from a client based program. OT deprecated LAPI as of 9.7.1 as such want new developers

to adopt webservices or the new REST Api. Some products from OT like the Sahrepoint Integration(AGA) si built on top of lapi and they extend lapi as well
so will be there for some more years.

I have CS10 and CS10.5 at work and I can use my old lapi.jar to create documents etc in livelink.

Here is an article I wrote to tell the world what lapi is in my mind.I am not a very trained computer person.

Hi guys.
Thanks for the clarification i did read a little about CWS and was just hoping that csapi was the right wat to go, this way there would not be much code re-writting.

Thanks once again.
