CMIS Query Language•  SELECT and FROM clauses o  Identify which properties from which types to return•  WHERE clause o  Restrict returned rows to those that meet all constraints o  Predicates: comparison, in, like, null, any, is null o  Function Predicates: contains(), in_folder(), in_tree() o  Operators: and, or, not•  ORDER BY clause o  Order results by one or more columns•  Each Type is projected as a Table

Do You Understand These Queries?SELECT cmis:nameFROM cmis:documentWHERE contains(alfresco) SELECT cmis:name, cmis:lastModificationDate FROM cmis:document WHERE cmis:lastModifiedBy = admin ORDER BY cmis:lastModificationDate DESC SELECT cmis:name, cmis:contentStreamLength FROM cmis:document WHERE IN_TREE(<folderObjectId>) AND cmis:contentStreamLength > 100000 ORDER BY cmis:contentStreamLength

CMIS Cheat Sheethttp://cmis.alfresco.com/cmis-cheatsheet.pdf

CMIS Bindings•  CMIS 1.0 defines two bindings: o  AtomPub binding o  Web Services binding•  CMIS 1.1 will add a new binding: o  Browser binding (JSON)•  Don’t bother … There are Open Source libraries for that

Apache Chemistry TM Open Source implementations of•  Apache Chemistry is the umbrella project for all CMIS related projects within the Apache Software Foundation.•  Apache Chemistry provides libraries and frameworks for Java, Python, PHP and .NET.•  Website: http://chemistry.apache.org

Main Objective Developers should focus on the CMIS domain model!•  Decreased learning curve: Developers can learn just the CMIS domain model and ignore the transport details of all the binding implementations.•  Rapid start. From download to listing the first folder in minutes.•  Be compliant. Chemistry libraries have been tested against many, many repositories.

Apache Chemistry Application Libraries Apache Chemistry (ORM, connection pools, etc.) ODBC / JDBC CMIS Bindings CMIS Domain SQL Model Relational DB Content Repository

Subprojects•  OpenCMIS (Java, server and client) o  very mature o  well tested against all major servers•  cmislib (Python, client) o  mature o  well tested against most major servers•  phpclient (PHP, client) o  basic specification coverage o  used in a few production systems•  DotCMIS (.NET, client) o  an OpenCMIS port (same architecture, similar API) o  works against all tested servers but needs more testing

HistoryMay 2009: Started as an incubator project by Nuxeo and Day (now Adobe)February 2010: Metaversant contributed cmislibFebruary 2010: Alfresco, OpenText and SAP contributed OpenCMISMay 2010: Alfresco contributed phpclientJanuary 2011: Alfresco contributed DotCMISFebruary 2011: Graduated to a top level project

OpenCMISOpenCMIS consists of a collection of Java libraries, frameworks and tools:•  Client library•  Server framework•  Two test repositories (InMemory and FileShare)•  CMIS Browser (web application, AtomPub only)•  CMIS Workbench (desktop application for developers)•  FIT and TCK

Get hold of OpenCMISOpenCMIS is available•  as source code: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/chemistry/opencmis/trunk/•  as release package with all dependencies: http://chemistry.apache.org/java/download.html•  via Maven: http://chemistry.apache.org/java/developing/dev-use-with-maven.html•  Last released version is 0.4.0

OpenCMIS Architecture

OpenCMIS Client Library•  Client API o  OO API You want this API! o  Easy to use o  Build-in caching•  Client Binding API o  Low-level o  Very close to the CMIS specification o  More control, less comfort

Aspects, Aspects, Aspects•  CMIS 1.0 has no native support for aspects•  Secondary types (= aspects) will be in CMIS 1.1•  Alfresco provides read and write access to aspects and aspect properties through CMIS extensions•  Theoretically, every CMIS client can read and write aspects but that is rather troublesome

Alfresco OpenCMIS Extension•  The Alfresco OpenCMIS Extension transparently adds aspect support to OpenCMIS•  Hosted on Apache Extras (Google Code), Apache license: http://apache-extras.org/p/alfresco-opencmis-extension•  See the project page for setup instructions. It’s really simple.

OpenCMIS Sessions•  CMIS is stateless!•  OpenCMIS introduces a session concept to support caching o  It’s all about performance o  Reduce the number of calls to the repository•  OpenCMIS caches: o  Repository infos o  Type definitions o  AtomPub links o  CMIS objects

Connect to a repository – Variant 1// set up session parametersMap<String, String> parameter = new HashMap<String, String>();parameter.put(SessionParameter.BINDING_TYPE, BindingType.ATOMPUB.value());parameter.put(SessionParameter.ATOMPUB_URL, "http://cmis.alfresco.com/service/cmis");parameter.put(SessionParameter.REPOSITORY_ID, "84ccfe80-b325-4d79-ab4d-080a4bdd045b");parameter.put(SessionParameter.USER, "admin");parameter.put(SessionParameter.PASSWORD, "admin");// create the sessionSessionFactory factory = SessionFactoryImpl.newInstance();Session session = factory.createSession(parameter);

Using the SessionRepositoryInfo ri = session.getRepositoryInfo();String id = ri.getId();String name = ri.getName();CmisObject object1 = session.getObject("1234567890");!CmisObject object2 = session.getObjectByPath("/my/path/doc");!Folder rootFolder = session.getRootFolder();!String rootFolderId = rootFolder.getId();!!for(CmisObject object: rootFolder.getChildren()) {! String name = object.getName();! if(object instanceof Document) {! Document doc = (Document) object;! long size = doc.getContentStreamLength(); ! }!}!
