Day Software Holding AG announced the release of CRX 2.1. Day will also support CMIS beside JSR 283.
Chief Marketing Officer Kevin Cochrane commented on the new release, “CRX 2.1 is an exciting new release because it provides the IT department with greater agility. Our new capabilities are designed for rapid development of new composite content applications, native support of the Cloud and expanded standards support with JSR-283 and CMIS, including for the Microsoft Sharepoint platform. We are looking forward to engaging with the community of JCR developers on our free developer edition of CRX 2.1 and growing our online catalog of ECM solutions through our PackageShare service.”
Nearly one year ago Day started to actively support the Apache Chemistry project. Day Software Holding AG is an enterprise software provider of Web 2.0 content management and content infrastructure software.

CMIS Shell (cmissh) – command-line client for CMIS
Posted by Nico in CMIS Clients, CMIS Tools / APIs on 21. January 2010
Stefane Fermigier just posted a CMIS shell client (cmissh). The client has been developed by Nuxeo - the developer of a famous Open Source Enterprise Content Management System.
cmissh can be used interactively (with a nice autocompletion console) to explore and run CRUD operations on a CMIS server, or as a testing tool. We’ve included, for instance, a test script in the distribution, called ‘testscript’, that can be run against the Nuxeo demo server and will fail on errors. I’ve also been able to use cmissh against the Chemistry test server.
They have decided to donate the code to the Apache Chemistry project. Please check the blog post to get a shell usage example.
Apache OpenCMIS – a Java implementation of the OASIS CMIS specification
Posted by Nico in CMIS Tools / APIs, JAVA on 14. December 2009
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.

Florent Guillaume on CMIS and Apache Chemistry
Florent Guillaume gave a few weeks ago an interview to Irina Guseva from CMSWire. They talked about the subjects of strategic value of CMIS, Apache Chemistry project history, partnerships, open source, future plans around CMIS, and more.

CMIS FileShare – Test repository for CMIS developers
Posted by admin in Architecture on 17. June 2009
A new test repository for CMIS developers is available in versoin 0.0.2
. It uses the file system as its data store and therefore just provides limited functionality (no versioning, no relationships, no query, etc.).
What is CMIS FileShare?
CMIS FileShare is lightweight server implementation of the “Content Management Interoperability Services” (CMIS) interface. (See http://xml.coverpages.org/cmis.html for details.)
CMIS FileShare is supposed to be a tool for CMIS client and server developers and it shouldn’t be used in productive environments.
CMIS FileShare exposes folders in a file system as repositories. It doesn’t require more than a Servlet container such as Tomcat to run.
