adding a document to the repository
Adding a document to the repository via web service methods can be done in two ways:
- a single web service request with the file content being base64 encoded
- a file is transmitted to the system via HTTP POST, and followed by a web service request
The first approach is very easy to implement, but has a drawback that it is not ideal when dealing with large files. Encoding of files is typically done in memory, so there may be significant overhead on the client and server. Furthermore, a base64 encoded file is about 1.5 times the original size. This not only is a drain on memory, but will impact on bandwidth utilisation.
The second approach performs much better with larger files, as HTTP POST requests can be dealt with quite efficiently, and there is no overhead of the encoding process.

adding a base64 encoded file to the repository
add_base64_document ( session : string, folder_id : integer, title : string, filename : string, document_type : string, base64 : string) : kt_document_detail
add_base64_document_with_metadata ( session : string, folder_id : integer, title : string, filename : string, document_type : string, base64 : string , metadata : kt_metadata_fieldsets, sysdata : kt_sysdata ) : kt_document_detail
