At the beginning of last week Hubert & Harrie put the updated version of the CCSI module up on Sourceforge, so I have spent the last few days converting the Sled player to use the web services connection to the CCSi module, rather than the java API we were previously using. I had a bit of frustrating time getting it to call some of the Admin functions, but the problem ended up being that I had compiled the CCSI with an older version of Axis than the one I should have been using, once I’d compiled with Axis 1.2.1 it seems to be working ok. There is still a fair bit more work for me to do, so far I have only got the CopperCore and CopperCoreAdmin connections converted to using the CCSI webservices connection. Once I have got this tested and working fine, I can then move on to getting the other modules, APIS, Forum, Search etc moved over. For the Forum and Search I will need to create the web services adapters in the CCSI for it all to be running from web services API rather than a mixture of webservices and Java. I’m certainly learning more about using Eclipse, WTP and web services doing all this!
