Today I had the privilege of talking about EMC Documentum Foundation Services (DFS) to roughly a 100 or so customers, partners and integrators at Momentum Europe 2007, held at Grimaldi Forum, Monaco. As promised, my slides are here, and the demo client in both Java and .NET (C#) can be downloaded via Zip archive here.
Before my session during the day’s keynote, the winners of the D6 Web Services Challenge were announced. As an internal judge, I was quite impressed by the breadth of submissions and how little time it took to develop them using DFS. The winners are as follows:
- 1st Place - Incident Management System: Armedia
This Windows Mobile 6 application simulates a field employee using a handheld device to capture notes in the field, and import them to Documentum. It allows for the mobile device camera to directly import images to Documentum, plus importing of images from an external service, in this instance Flickr. This application was built in only 10 days by a team of three individuals. - 2nd Place - 5MD gTop: Rob Cleghorn, Alexandre Alvares, Andrew McAllister, James Maughan, and Simon Green
This five man team is so named due to the five days they dedicated to their effort to build a highly functional Web based user interface to Documentum leveraging Google Web Toolkit. In the words of one judge: “A clear example of the power of the new Rich Internet Application (RIA) and SOA programming model in action.” - 3rd Place - PDF Publishing and Search: Alan Greendyk
This single person entry leverages the power of Flex programming and Adobe LiveCycle Data Services to illustrate a publishing application pushing content into Documentum, with an extended search capability to fetch content from the Documentum repository.
The press release for this announcement is here. There should be more details about the winning entries up on EDN soon, too.
Congratulations to Armedia, the team from BNP Paribas (Cleghorn et al), and Alan Greendyk from Wachovia!

To clarify, the WSDL in DFS 6.0 and DFS 6.0 SP1 is identical, since service packs should generally be focused on quality not new features.
The Java sample code provided above was written against a pre-release version of the DFS SDK for 6.0 SP1–as clearly noted in module preambles. That being said, the Java source code should be compatible with the released version of DFS SDK 6.0.
However, the .NET sample code requires the forthcoming DFS SDK 6.0 SP1–again this is clearly noted in module preambles. Since DFS 6.0 SP1 won’t release until next month, the .NET sample code is mostly for your information. You won’t be able to compile it, since the sample project references but doesn’t include the .NET assemblies that comprise the forthcoming .NET productivity layer in DFS 6.0 SP1 (e.g. Emc.Documentum.FS.DataModel.dll, Emc.Documentum.FS.Runtime.dll and Emc.Documentum.FS.Services.dll).
Also, the .NET productivity layer in DFS will be based on the initial release of Microsoft Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) within .NET 3.0, which is the modern basis for interoperability testing with JAX-WS/WSIT/Metro. A Microsoft Web Service Enhancements (WSE) 3.0 sample will still exist in the DFS SDK; however, WSE 3.0 is unsupported–only the WCF-based assemblies are supported in DFS product.
Hope this helps… -Craig
