What is the SOAP API?

SourceForge exposes a subset of the APIs defined by the application server as web services, through the SOAP protocol. You can dowload the SOAP API from OCN using the following link (see the link 1).

A SOAP proxy server and a SOAP API layer, both running on Apache Axis, expose a set of web services representing each SourceForge application. The SOAP server serves the following functions:

Provides web services by accepting SOAP requests from the clients
Performs SOAP client authentication
Implements SourceForge role-based access control (RBAC) and caching service
Accesses the application server via RMI stubs.

For more information about using the API see link 2.

How does an application interact with CollabNet TeamForge SOAP services?
Your application can call CollabNet TeamForge services from Java,.NET, Perl or WSDL clients.
Is the CollabNet TeamForge SOAP API backwards-compatible?
The SourceForge Enterprise Edition 4.x and CollabNet SourceForge Enterprise 5.x APIs (including Service Pack updates) are fully compatible with CollabNet TeamForge . Applications developed using these earlier APIs will continue to function after you upgrade to CollabNet TeamForge .
