I have already used that URL to get all the services listed, but the problem is I need a web service which will help me to,
Upload a document
Search the documents
Access the contents of the document
delete/update the document

I have not found a method to add a document to the document library.
Which service shall I use to do the above mentioned jobs.[Where can I get the documentation regarding usage of each web service and its methods with some examples]

Thanks,

Generally working with portlets, we use DLFileEntryService.addFileEntry() and DLAppLocalServiceUtil.addFileEntry().
And now consider suppose you want to upload any document that what you will do basically, first you will create the folder when you upload the document first time. And after creating the folder with particular name in Document Library then you upload the file on it.

So for that you need to use the two services one for creating folder and other for file Entry.

Portlet_DL_DLFolderService for creating folder and I was wondering for fileEntry Portlet_DL_DLFileEntryService or DLAppService service in order to add file but unfortunately not able to find any webservice that will help to upload the file. I think in liferay inbuilt webservice they had not provided any facility or functions to upload the document.

Looking into it and let you know if find anything else on it.

Thanks & Regards,
Amit Doshi

As far my knowledge by going through the inbuilt webservice of Liferay, I don't think they had provided any function through which you can upload the document.

Because addFileEntry is the function which allow you to upload the document in the Document Library. But in external webservice they intentionally removed the addFileEntry function because that method cannot be safely wired in soap.

But if you want to give a try then you can do workaround with it :-
1) Create a remote webservice with service-builder of liferay and in that try to implement the addFileEntry method which was requried to upload the document in document library.
2) A Service jar will be created and put that jar file in tomcat/lib/ext, so it will be globally accessed through external webservice.

Hope it might help.

Thanks & Regards,
Amit Doshi
