Navigation:  Integration via SOAP web services >

Technical overview

As an alternative for system integration, SoftExpert makes available several integration interfaces, following the specification for SOAP Web Services. All services available in SoftExpert Suite are described in detail in this document, providing knowledge and enabling the creation of integrations by third parties.

To provide even greater assistance in creating integrations, two JAVA classes are available for each service, one for service request and the other one for service return, using the Apache Axis 2 library. The path of the classes for viewing is detailed in each service.

Authentication and communication via API Gateway

This feature is responsible for the layer that controls the access to SoftExpert Web Services. For authentication and authorization in API Gateway, we suggest the use of the personal user token available in the "User account" screen.

To use API Gateway, the Web Service must be called through the https://<domain_sesuite>/apigateway URL. The domain_sesuite must be the same as the one for user access to SoftExpert Suite. See further details in the API Key Authentication section.
