(I asked this question on stackoverflow and they pointed me to the existence of tridion.stackexchange.com, so I repost it here.)

For our automated tests I want to connect to Tridion from our Java testsuite we setup with Cucumber. I want to do this through a webservice. There is a manual on sdllivecontent.com on how to do this, but when I try to get the appropriate .jar files, I can't find them.

The manual from sdllivecontent.com tells me:

Add the following import statements to your proxy client class:

import org.w3c.dom.*;  
import com.sdltridion.contentmanager.coreservice.*;  
import com.sdltridion.contentmanager.r6.*;

The latter two get not recognized, so I have to get the correct references.
I added the following Tridion jar files as libraries to my project structure:

  • C:\Program Files\Tridion\lib
  • C:\Software\Tridion\Content Delivery\roles\api\java\lib
  • C:\Software\Tridion\Content Delivery\roles\api\java\third-party-lib

And now I can import from com.tridion.*, but still not from com.sdltridion.*. What am I missing?

SDL owned packages always start with com.tridion.* or com.sdl.*, not with com.sdltridion.* (and especially not com.sdltridion.contentmanager.*).

It seems like you're using custom jars (maybe from here?) and you should keep track - or contact the author - of those.

Update I just found the chapter in the documentation you mention and it also states

To get the Java proxy client up and running, generate a proxy (Java XmlBeans is recommended as a proxy generator)

In other words, you need to generate the classes yourself by pointing at the Core Service's WSDL.

Mihai has some examples of how to do this on his blog.

  • The manual I try to follow is from sdltridionworld.com. As I could see from this question: tridion.stackexchange.com/questions/1125/…, so it seems there are more people using it with these imports.

  • Updated my answer - those jars don't exist pre-packaged, you need to generate them.

  • Thank you for finding that. I created the proxy client, but was oblivious of the fact that it would create the classes. I will try the steps from the blog and update my findings.

    This solved it for me. I tried to generate the files through the manual I linked earlier, but that didn't quite work out. So I did it through the method from the blog you posted and that worked fine.
