Alerts using CMIS

[nikes]

Dear friends,

Does CMIS provide alert/action feature?

I am developing a custom desktop application which should include feature to alert
user whenever a particular document gets updated.

How can we achieve this using CMIS?

Thanks for any help.

Old topic, but in case it helps someone else…

There is nothing in the CMIS spec to support this natively. The Alfresco repository supports this through custom behaviors, however.

Alternatively, you could write your own "subscription" logic in your desktop app and perhaps use changesets to ask the CMIS repository what has changed and compare that list to the list of subscribed-to nodes, then fire the alert yourself.
