I am new to Documentum. I am creating a stand alone java application that needs to connect to a documentum instance (5.3). How would I go about connecting to the instance?

You must install and configure Documentum Foundation Classes (Documentum API) at your client machine, copy dfc.jar at any place in your classpath and at the end read tons of documentation :-)

first your dmcl.ini file must conain the following lines
[DOCBROKER_PRIMARY]
host=<host address or ip of docbroker for your docbase>
port=<port # usually 1489>
then the following code should work for you
String docbaseName = "docbase";
String userName = "user";
String password = "pass";
IDfClientX clientx = new DfClientX();
IDfClient client = clientx.getLocalClient();
IDfSessionManager sMgr = client.newSessionManager();
IDfLoginInfo loginInfoObj = clientx.getLoginInfo();
loginInfoObj.setUser(userName);
loginInfoObj.setPassword(password);
loginInfoObj.setDomain(null);
sMgr.setIdentity(docbaseName, loginInfoObj);
IDfSession session = null;
try
{
session = sMgr.getSession(docbaseName);
// do stuff here
}
finally
{
if(session != null)
{
sMgr.release(session);
}
}
