Content Web Services with Java 8 and Content Server 16

I am using Content Web Services with Java to upload files into Content Server.
The Java version is 1.8 and Content Server 16.
I am using various operations like adding category, adding permissions, remove permissions, create file, create folder etc

Now, I am facing the following issues:-

1. First time, I run the java utility, I need to restart Tomcat Server. Otherwise I keep on getting SoapFaultException

ns0:Core.LoginFailed : Client received SOAP Fault from server: OTDS username and password are required. Please see the server log to find more detail regarding exact cause of the failure.

2. How to refresh token? I am first taking OTDS token, followed by validating that token with the CWS token:

com.opentext.ecm.services.authws.Authentication otdsAuthClient;
otdsAuthClient = otdsAuthService.getAuthenticationPort();
String otdsAuthToken= otdsAuthClient.authenticate(USERNAME, PASSWORD);

Authentication_Service cwsAuthService = new Authentication_Service();
Authentication cwsAuthClient = cwsAuthService.getBasicHttpBindingAuthentication();
String cwsAuthToken = cwsAuthClient.validateUser(otdsAuthToken);

Now, I use cwsAuthToken to perform all my Content Service operations.

How do I renew my token?

OTDS: com.opentext.ecm.services.authws.Authentication does not have refreshToken method
CWS: Authentication has a refreshToken method

I am confused. Whether to:
1. Refresh token according to otds timeout or cws timeout
2. How to use refreshToken method of CWS?
Only option looks to me is to do the OTDS token creation and validating that token with CWS token again.

Please suggest!!

Once you have a CWS token, you just need to refresh that token by passing it into the refreshToken method.

That method should give you a new token value to use, provided the original token was still valid at the time you tried to refresh it.

Hi Kyle

Many thanks for your reply. The CWS token method: refreshToken will work without the OTDS token refresh in Content Server 16.

Now, I got my UAT in Content Server 10.5. I get the same issues in UAT, for example, Exception in refReshAuthToken method:

com.sun.xml.ws.fault.ServerSOAPFaultException: Client received SOAP Fault from server: OTDS username and password are required. Please see the server log to find more detail regarding exact cause of the failure.

The Java version is 1.8 and Content Server 10.5.

Is it that for Content Server 10.5, a different way is required to refresh the OTDS and CWS authentication tokens?

Warm Regards

Finally using the following:

1. Take otds token again.

2. Validate otds token and get the csw token again.

This works flawlessly. I was just trying to check if CWS' Authentication refreshtoken method is useful. To me, doesnt seem such as of now.
