A system and method for accessing a document management system in a multi-environment processing system includes receiving a client call command from a web service proxy. The web service proxy, disposed on a client and running in conjunction with a client application. A web service end point, disposed in a web service framework receives the client call command. In conjunction with a class module, the client call command is translated from the second processing environment that the application is executing within and the first processing environment providing the document management system. Through the web service end point and the class module, the client call command is converted for accessing the document management system.
