Connect to a sharepoint server using Ruby or RubyOnRails

Question

I have a SharePoint server. I am creating a rails application that can communicate with a sharepoint server, although this is not the main purpose of the application. I plan to provide this as an advantage.

My target areas will be 1. Getting an accessible document repository from SharePoint 2. Add documents to sharepoint using the Rails front end 3. Get a list of all documents with a hierarchy that will be displayed on the application list page

I am not aware of any services or protocols used to achieve the above specific points.

also a second alternative - I can use svn to manage my document repository, but will I somehow migrate all existing documents from the SharePoint server.

any pointer or help can be valuable.

Answer 1

SharePoint provides a set of web services that non-NET applications can use, but they are limited compared to what is available when running .NET code. There are also FrontPage RPC calls that cover file downloads.

Get an accessible document repository from SharePoint

Use the Lists.GetListCollection () method provided by the List.asmx web service. A ServerTemplate of 101 indicates a document library. See these articles on MSDN for walkthroughs.
