Alfresco CMIS AtomPub Binding

The Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) standard defines a domain model and set of bindings that include Web Services and ReSTful AtomPub that
can be used by applications to work with one or more Content Management repositories/systems. The CMIS interface is designed to be layered on top of existing
Content Management systems and their existing programmatic interfaces. It is not intended to prescribe how specific features should be implemented within those
CM systems, nor to exhaustively expose all of the CM systemâ€™s capabilities through the CMIS interfaces. Rather, it is intended to define a generic/universal set
of capabilities provided by a CM system and a set of services for working with those capabilities.

For a full description of the domain model and binding see the CMIS specification.

This Web Scripts package provides the Alfresco implementation of the CMIS AtomPub binding. This binding is based upon the Atom (RFC4287) and Atom Publishing Protocol (RFC5023).
In this binding, the client interacts with the repository by acquiring the service document, which Alfresco provides with each repository installation at:

http://[host]:[port]/alfresco/service/cmis

Note : This article was written for Alfresco 3.x for Alfresco 4.x and above http://[host]:[port]/alfresco/service/cmisws should be used instead.

The client will then choose a CMIS collection, and then start accessing the repository by following the references in the returned documents. This binding consists of a service
document specifying at least CMIS service collections, atom collections, feeds and entry documents. CMIS extends the Atom and AtomPub documents utilizing the Atom and AtomPub
extension mechanism. CMIS also leverages link tags to specify additional resources related to the requested resource.

Paging

All of the methods that allow for the retrieval of a collection of CMIS objects support paging of their result sets except where explicitly stated otherwise. The following
parameters control paging:

Integer maxItems : This is the maximum number of items to return in a response. Defaults to -1, which means unlimited.

Integer skipCount : This is the number of potential results that the repository skip over before returning any results. Defaults to 0.

Properties Filter

All of the methods that allow for the retrieval of properties for CMIS Objects have a â€œProperty Filterâ€ as an optional parameter, which allows the caller to specify a subset of
properties that must be returned by the repository in the output of the method. The filter is specified as follows:

Not set : All properties of the CMIS Object are returned (default)

A comma-delimited list of property query names : The properties listed are returned

* : All properties are returned

Include Allowable Actions

Many methods provide support for including allowable actions for the each CMIS Object returned in the response. Allowable actions are specified by the
includeAllowableActions parameter:

true : include allowable actions

false : exlude allowable actions (default)

Include Relationships

Many methods provide support for including relationships for each CMIS Object returned in the response. Relationships are specified by the includeRelationships parameter:

none : Relationships are not returned (default)

source : Only relationships in which the objects are the source are returned

target : Only relationships in which the objects are the target are returned

both : Relationships in which the objects are source of target are returned

Rendition Filter

Many methods provide support for including renditions of each CMIS Object returned in the response. The renditions to return are specified by the renditionFilter parameter:

cmis:none : exclude all associated renditions (default)

* : include all associated renditions

comma-separated list of kinds or mimetypes : include only those renditions that match one of the specified kinds or mimetypes

For example:

* : include all renditions

cmis:thumbnail : include only thumbnails

image/* : include all image renditions

application/pdf,application/x-shockwave-flash : include web ready renditions

ACLs

Some methods provide support for including ACLs for each CMIS Object returned in the response. ACLs are specified by the includeACL parameter:

true : include all ACLs for each CMIS Object

false : exclude ACLs (default)
