We have implemented a library for interacting Alfresco with CMIS 1.1 library. We implemented all add/update/delete... methods. In production two times in a year we had the case where a delete didn't work as expected.Here is the delete method of the library:@Override public void deleteById(String doc

This comment does not directly address your problem, but you should know that this line is asking for trouble:

Document document = (Document) session
.getObject(documentId + ((null == version || version.equals("")) ? "" : ";" + version));

CMIS object ID's are defined by the spec to be opaque. Just because that string at the end looks like a version ID does not mean you should interpret it that way.

Alfresco could decide to change their object ID format at any time with no notice. Also, this wouldn't work with other repositories, which is one of the points of CMIS.

Thank you very much Jeff for your answer, i understand what you are saying and we are planning to fix it, any idea about the case above?

Inside a transaction we do stuff with the db and send a delete to alfresco, two times we have the case of interacting successfully with the db but the document stays in alfresco.
