Web Services

An XML/SOAP Web Services interface to FootPrints is available for all platforms for integration with other applications. It supports .NET 1.1 and 2.0, Java, and Perl. Functions are available for creating Issues, updating Issues and querying the database.  For detailed information on the Web Services interface, refer to FootPrints Web Services API.

The administration page for Web Services allows you to enable or disable the service.  This is a security feature to prevent unintended access to FootPrints via the XML/SOAP API.  An administrator must knowingly enable Web Services in order for them to be used.

To enable Web Services:

  1. Select Administration | System | Web Services from the FootPrints Toolbar.
  2. Click the Enable radio button.
  3. To allow an agent user ID to be used to authenticate Web Services, check the box labeled "Check here to allow any Agent userid to authenticate Web Services".
  4. Enter your password, then click the GO button.
