There are thousands of tutorials on AJAX available. This is one:
http://net.tutsplus.com/articles/news/how-to-make-ajax-requests-with-raw-javascript/
Now use the techniques in that tutorial (or the AJAX features of your preferred JavaScript library) to make calls against the CMIS AtomPub binding. For example, to get the properties of a file named "test.txt" in a folder in company home called "test", you could execute the following GET:
http://localhost:8080/alfresco/cmisatom/1b8980cc-1f1b-4ac3-b26f-17aeee0cefc9/path?path=/test/test.tx...
The "1b8980cc-1f1b-4ac3-b26f-17aeee0cefc9" in the URL above is my repository's repository ID. If you don't know it, you can get it from the <cmis:repositoryId> element in the response that comes back when you go to:
http://localhost:8080/alfresco/cmisatom
Back to the original call, if you look at the XML that comes back when you ask for the properties, you should see a property called "cmis
bjectId". With that, you could get the content with a call like this:
http://localhost:8080/alfresco/cmisatom/1b8980cc-1f1b-4ac3-b26f-17aeee0cefc9/content/test.txt?id=wor...
In my case it is plain text that says, "This is a test.".
All calls to these URLs must use basic authentication, so you'll need to pass in the credentials with each request (or you can get a ticket and pass that).
Hope that helps,
Jeff
