OpenCMIS? API for rest and soap both?

nikes — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 05:32:11 GMT

Dear All,I have been give a task to develop CMIS module to integrate with NetBeans platform based desktop application.Our requirement is to give both implementations RESTFul and SOAP, so client can switch from one to another.I see there is a new project OpenCMIS http://cwiki.apache.org/CMIS/opencmi

The SOAP and AtomPub bindings are hidden behind the OpenCMIS client API. So yes, you can code to both protocols using the same code.

OpenCMIS is still in development, but most of the spec is implemented.

Thanks David,

Does that means we don't have to use any web service framework like Axis2 or Apache CXF?

Just include JARs provided and use in client code?

Where can I get JAR files for OpenCMIS?

Is there any example code showing use of both SOAP and REST in a single client ?

Thanks.

You just include the opencmis jars (and dependant jars) and write to the api.

You can go to http://www.opencmis.org or http://incubator.apache.org/chemistry/

There are some small examples of how to use at the above sites.

What would you recommend for production use? OpenCMIS or client generated stubs?
