It's part of the CMIS API. http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/CMIS

Thank you for your response.

If I have good understand, I can't use this script directly in the browser.

That's correct - (broadly speaking) browsers typically only support GET and POST requests from URL and form submissions respectively. Plus CMIS is ATOM-based rather than HTML.

The metadata webscripts might be of more use to you, if you're not familiar with CMIS:

Is there any example on how to call such a webscript from JAVA ?

I've created the URLConnection and then i do:

connection.setDoOutput(true);
connection.setRequestMethod("PUT");‍‍

Now the problem is, how do i pass the collection of properties that i want to update and their values ?
I know i have to use the outputstream that is given by the connection, but how and what do i serialize to an array of byte to write to the stream ?
