The 2010 iECM CMIS Demo Application is now available

Nico — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 19:46:20 +0000

Since a few days the CMIS demo application is available.

Microsoft doesn’t have SharePoint available within the demo yet but they support this demo.

You can upload and search for content within the repositories of the following companies:

Alfresco
EMC
eXo
IBM
Nuxeo

I tested the upload of a test1.txt document to all repositories. It worked for all except EMC. There I got an error message. Than I tried to search for the content within the demo. But It didn’t find test1 or CMIS that entered into the document.

Also the search for www.cmis.biz leads to an error. There is still something to do within this demo but it really looks promising.

You can test it at http://aiim-iecm.org

IBM FileNet and IBM Content Manager Technology Preview for CMIS

Nico — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 08:18:22 +0000

IBM offers a technical preview for there CMIS implementation that provides support for the CMIS REST/Atom binding for the IBM® FileNet® and IBM Content Manager repositories.

The preview provides a servlet (CMIS web application) packaged as a WAR (Web Application Archive) file that can be deployed in WebSphere®, to support REST services expressed in the CMIS specification. The CMIS web application translates these services at run time to Java™ API calls to the IBM FileNet and IBM Content Manager repositories. The preview uses the IBM FileNet and IBM Content Manager Java APIs to access the native repository.

You can download this preview here (30 MB).

IBM is part of the OASIS CMIS committee.

IBM is developing a Mozilla Firefox plug-in for CMIS

Nico — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 20:23:43 +0000

I just read on twitter that IBM is developing a Mozilla Firefox plug-in for CMIS.

This plug-in makes it possible to access document management systems that support CMIS. At the moment it’s not available as a ready to use Firefox plug-in. But you can download the source code as an Eclipse project and build it on your own.

There is a detailed example available on how to build the Firefox plug-in.

Check the IBM website to get further details about the Firefox plug-in.
