Building the SharePoint connector

In order to build this connector, you need to download wsdls from an installed SharePoint instance. The wsdls in question are:

Permissions.wsdl
Lists.wsdl
Dspsts.wsdl
usergroup.wsdl
versions.wsdl
webs.wsdl

To download a wsdl, use Microsoft's disco.exe tool, which is part of Microsoft's Visual Studio, typically under c:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\V6.x\bin. You'd want to interrogate the following urls:

The SharePoint connector generates interface classes using checked-in wsdls originally obtained + from an installed Microsoft SharePoint instance using disco.exe. The disco.exe utility is installed as part of + Microsoft Visual Studio, and is typically found under "c:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\V6.x\bin". + If desired, you can obtain unmodified wsdls by interrogating the following SharePoint web services:

http[s]://<server_name>/_vti_bin/Permissions.asmx
http[s]://<server_name>/_vti_bin/webs.asmx

When the wsdl files have been downloaded, copy them to the directory connectors/sharepoint/lib-proprietary before building.

The wsdl files download will be done automatically if you type "ant make-deps" from the root directory.

Note well: For SharePoint instances version 3.0 or higher, in order to support file and folder level security, you also must deploy a custom SharePoint web service on the SharePoint instance you intend to connect to. This is because Microsoft apparently overlooked support for web-service-based access to such security information when SharePoint 3.0 was released. This service can be found in the directory dist/sharepoint-integration after ManifoldCF is built. To install it on your SharePoint 3.0 machine, follow the directions in the file Installation Readme.txt, found in that directory.
