CMIS Renditions support

[alexander]

Does alfresco support CMIS renditions, for example cmis:thumbnail?

If I understood correctly in AtomPub binding these renditions have to be included in document node XML as rel="alternative". Is it right?

Any plans to introduce it or should we try on our own?

Thanks

The 1.0cd04 spec certainly supports retrieving renditions (not creating or updating) and has a "kind" of rendition defined for thumbnails called "cmis:thumbnail". I'm seeing that "canGetRenditions" is returning true for an object I know has a thumbnail, but I'm not getting a link or anything in the Atom entry. I don't see a "getRenditions" web script in the list of CMIS web scripts, either.

Might have to grep the source to see if this has been implemented.

Actually, just noticed that Alfresco is returning "none" for cmis:capabilityRenditions so I guess it isn't supported right now.

I think in ATOM binding there is no separate call to get renditions. My understanding is that as a part of request that returns details about object some renditions (like cmis:thumbnail) should be automatically included. There is also control switch "includeRenditions" but it is optional.

Looks like renditions are still on TODO list in current Alfresco code.
