I keep getting an exception thrown when trying to "link" an existing folder to another existing-folder-location (for multiple locations).The exception saysrg.apache.chemistry.opencmis.commons.exceptions.CmisInvalidArgumentException: Object is not a document! at org.alfresco.opencmis.AlfrescoCmis

According to the spec (page 35 of the PDF)…

Every folder object, except for one which is called the Root Folder, MUST have one and only one parent folder.

Folder objects are not multi-fileable.

Ah, RTFM, huh?

I take it this is a CMIS limitation, not an Alfresco one?

Thanks,

Yes, I believe the underlying Alfresco API supports multi-filing of folders.
