Is it possible to get the path from a cmis:document query?

I am retrieving a set of documents via a query, and part of the information I need on the documents is their path within Alfresco.the cmis:folder has a cmisath option, but the cmis:document does not, and I have not been able to find any way to get this information from a cmis:document option.The C

No, you cannot get the path back as part of a query. You can, however, make a CMIS API call to get the list of paths an object is in.

For example, if you use the OpenCMIS Workbench, here is what it would look like in the Groovy console:


doc = session.getObject('a8a507b5-e778-4e67-9795-339c405c0612;1.0')
println doc.getPaths()

Jeff, thank you for your reply, that's very helpful information.
Unfortunately, I'm experiencing some issues with your proposed solution.
using the 'session.getObject(value)' is working fine, but when I try to get the path from it it says "'DotCMIS.Client.ICmisObject' does not contain a definition for 'getPaths' and no extension method 'getPaths' accepting a first argument of type 'DotCMIS.Client.ICmisObject' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)".
I should have mentioned earlier that I am using DotCMIS in a C# application. Is this functionality missing from DotCMIS as opposed to OpenCMIS? Or is there simply a different method I need to use?
Any help you or others could offer would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

For anyone else facing this problem, I managed to figure out how to get a document's path in DotCMIS from the document's ID. I am unsure if this is the most efficient way, but it works.
<blockcode>
                ICmisObject object = session.GetObject(id);
                IDocument doc = object as IDocument;
                IList<string> path = doc.Paths;
                string pathFound = path.ElementAt(0);
</blockcode>
