Free Alfresco Webcast – Getting Started with CMIS

Alfresco offers a recorded webinar with the title “Getting Started with CMIS”.
The webinar takes about 90 minutes and can be viewed here.

It’s a fact that most large organizations have multiple ECM standards. Watch this webcast to find out all about Alfresco and Content Management Interoperability Services.  Gabriele Columbro sets the scene and looks at the CMIS data model, CMIS services, queries and how the CMIS Maven Toolkit jump starts your application build.

Apache OpenCMIS – a Java implementation of the OASIS CMIS specification

Since a few days there are now two Apache APIs available for CMIS.
Apache Chemistry is known since a longer time. The new implementation is Apache OpenCMIS that has just started.
You can check out the project page for more details:

OpenCMIS provides a Java implementation of the OASIS CMIS specification. This includes a library to connect as a consumer to a CMIS repository, and a library to provide the CMIS protocol handlers on top of an existing repository. All the protocol bindings defined by the CMIS specification will be supported.

The initial committers listed are employed by Open Text, Alfresco, and SAP. They are looking for further people to join.

At an mailing list Florian Müller wrote something about the difference between Apache Chemistry and Apache OpenCMIS:


Chemistry uses Abdera to communicate with the server while OpenCMIS is based on
JAX-B and some CMIS specific XML coding. There is a lot of code sharing between
the AtomPub and the Web Services binding. (I couldn’t find a Web Services
client in Chemistry. So I can’t comment on that.) OpenCMIS has a caching
infrastructure that is specific to CMIS and how OpenCMIS work. There is nothing
like that in Chemistry. The overall architecture and principals below the API
are very, very different. Bringing both together would require philosophy
changes on both sides. I’m not saying that this isn’t possible, but it’s a
lengthy process.

Integration between ez Publish and Nuxeo via CMIS

The ez Publish partner NXC published an interesting video. This video shows the integration of the Web Content Management System ez Publish 4.2 and the Document Management System Nuxeo via CMIS.

NXC is the main contributor to eZ Publish CMIS. The documents are only stored in Nuxeo, but fetched and used in eZ Publish. eZ Publish now supports CMIS version 1.0 that is still in revision.
