Core Service clients

Use the built-in .NET client to interact with the Core Service, or create your own proxy client. You can also send raw XML to the Web service.

The Core Service expects requests in XML that is compliant with its language-neutral WSDL (Web Service Definition Language). To send such requests, do one of the following:

Use the built-in .NET client
During installation, you installed the built-in client for .NET. Use this client for all .NET languages. The client is located in the bin\client\CoreService\ subfolder of %TRIDION_HOME% (defaults to C:\Program Files (x86)\Tridion\) and is called Tridion.ContentManager.CoreService.Client.dll.
Create a Java client
To generate a proxy for Java, use XmlBeans data binding for best forward compatibilty.
Use a client in another programming language
You can use a tool that generates a proxy in the programming language of your choice.
