Starting with CMIS

eolith — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 00:40:35 GMT

Hello!! I want to learn more about this CMIS interface, I've taken a look at the specification and now I want to make my own test code.But before… I have some questions:1. What do I need to call REST CMIS services from a Java class?? Is there any client jars I can use? Or will I have to create all X

1. CMIS exposes a REST Atom feeds binding so you can use Apache Abdera Client to parse atom feeds from a Java application.
Abdera allows you to invoke standard HTTP requests and methods needed for CMIS operations (GET,POST,PUT,DELETE).
Now there is a new Apache project, Apache Chemistry, that it will provide us the standard implementations of CMIS client for REST and Web Service binding.

2. To manage your own custom content types with custom properties you need to use Alfresco 3.2.

3. I think that REST is much better and more easier to implement than WS binding

Hope this helps.
