Hi,
We are trying to build a Web form to call the Web Servie API to insert a bulk of child records ( sys_table ) into the created item in one time instead of inserting the child records one by one from inside the regular content item edit form.
Could you please provide us some help/guildness so that we can get started.
ex How to call the Web Service? Any sample codes/documentation?

Thanks much!
Andy

Andy,

You can start with the CM System WSDK.

Thanks much for your help and info. It does help a lot.
We are now wondering that the Web Service will work if we call them inside the extension of the post-processing of an item creation.
Is it a right approach that we call the Create Child Record API in the extension of the Content Item Post-Processing?
Is the Post-Processing extension called after a Content Item Created?
Could you please also provide us some tips/documentation for Creating/Installing the extension?

Thanks again!
Andy

Andy,

Most of your questions can be answered in the Technical Reference.

Web Services is generally used to create additional clients to access the CM Server. For system extensions, you’re better off using the system API directly. If you installed the documentation with your server, the Javadoc for the system API is in the directory <CMSystemroot>/Docs/Rhythmyx/Javadocs.
