Alfresco 5.0: AuthenticationUtils.startSession generate 404

I'm working on an old project and, due to the short time to deploy new release, I cannot migrate the upload of content using CMIS so, I need to use old WebServiceFactory code to create binary into Alfresco.

But, with the new release of Alfresco (5.0.a) I'm not able to obtain the authorization using:

WebServiceFactory.setEndpointAddress("http://localhost:8080/alfresco/api");             
AuthenticationUtils.startSession(userName, password);

This is the error I'm getting:

Caused by: (404)Not Found
at org.apache.axis.transport.http.HTTPSender.readFromSocket(HTTPSender.java:744)
at org.apache.axis.transport.http.HTTPSender.invoke(HTTPSender.java:144)
at org.apache.axis.strategies.InvocationStrategy.visit(InvocationStrategy.java:32)

Any clue? Do you know if there a really (really really) fast way to create folder and update binary from Java classes?

thanks,
Andrea

The problem is related only to the start of the first session, in our case, because the WebServiceFactory try to load the file "alfresco/webserviceclient.properties" by default.

We've resolved the issue with this workaround:

public static void startSession(String endpoint, String username, String password)
                throws Exception {

    try {
        if (_log.isDebugEnabled()) {
            _log.debug("Connecting to: " + endpoint);
        }
        /** fix for http 404 error during start first session
         *  needs to init {@link WebServiceFactory#loadedProperties} field to true and nothing else
         */
        WebServiceFactory.getEndpointAddress();
        /** fix for http 404 error during start first session*/

        WebServiceFactory.setEndpointAddress(endpoint);

        AuthenticationUtils.startSession(username, password);
        if (_log.isDebugEnabled()) {
            _log.debug("Start session with ticket: " + AuthenticationUtils.getTicket());
        }

    }
    catch (Exception e) {
        _log.error("Can not initiate session with Alfresco server.");
        throw e;
    }
}

Go grab the File Loader example from this code, edit the pom.xml to the latest version of everything, point it at your server, run, enjoy.
