CMIS resources, tutorials, and examples

[jpotts]

If you are new to CMIS, there are several resources you need to be aware of:
<ul><li><a href="http://cmis.alfresco.com/">Alfresco CMIS Page</a> Includes links to the specification and a live server for testing.</li>
<li><a href="http://ecmarchitect.com/images/articles/cmis/cmis-article.pdf">Getting Started with CMIS</a> Provides a brief introduction and shows how to use the ATOM Pub binding directly.</li>
<li><a href="http://ecmarchitect.com/alfresco-developer-series-tutorials/content/tutorial/tutorial.html">Custom Content Types Tutorial</a> Includes several CMIS examples, including CMIS queries and how to query aspects.</li>
<li><a href="http://chemistry.apache.org/">Apache Chemistry</a> Includes client-side API's for working with CMIS in several languages, example code, and how-to's.</li>
<li><a href="http://code.google.com/a/apache-extras.org/p/alfresco-opencmis-extension/">Alfresco OpenCMIS Extension</a> Used for adding aspect support to Apache Chemistry OpenCMIS.</li></ul>

Also, please note that when you are using the CMIS ATOM Pub binding against Alfresco 4, you should use the new OpenCMIS-based URL (http://localhost:8080/alfresco/cmisatom) instead of the old web script-based URL (http://localhost:8080/alfresco/s/api/cmis). The old URL should be considered deprecated. This is not just a URL change–these are two different implementations, so you will see differences in how they behave.

If you are using Alfresco 4.2.x the URL has changed again. You should use one of these URLs:
* http://localhost:8080/alfresco/api/-default-/cmis/versions/1.0/atom
* http://localhost:8080/alfresco/api/-default-/cmis/versions/1.1/atom
* http://localhost:8080/alfresco/api/-default-/cmis/versions/1.1/browser

Jeff,

I think it would be a good idea to make those tutorial posts sticky in the forum. Is that possible?

I made them sticky in the forum they pertain to. You think we should make them global?

No, it was just me not viewing the posts in the right context  ops:

Thanks

Hi Jeff,
I think the third link should point to your tutorial on custom content types here: http://ecmarchitect.com/images/articles/alfresco-content/content-article-2ed.pdf - currently it points to your tutorial on custom actions.
Many thanks for the useful resources

Is there a comparison or a description of how the new OpenCMIS URL is better than the old script-based URL?
