KnowledgeTree Webservice included in 3.4 STABLE

3.4 STABLE is about to be released and includes the KnowledgeTree webservice. The webservice exposes key functions that exist within KnowledgeTree via SOAP so that third parties can easily integrate their applications and KnowledgeTree.

The webservice is based on the ktapi object model, which wraps the internal functionality into a layer that simplifies development.

Key functionality currently exposed includes:

• add document
• checkin
• checkout
• update metadata
• start workflow
• change workflow state

In upcoming releases, the webservice functionality will be extended to include include search functionality.

Download the KnowledgeTree Visual Basic Webservice Client Demo, a sample Visual Basic .NET application created in Visual Studio 2005. In a few lines of code, I demonstrate how to authenticate, get folder contents, and add a document. More information is available via the documentation site.
