My understanding...
The intent is to provide:
1) Java API for clients who wish to interact with a CMIS server
that's simple to use and independent of protocol binding.
2) Java SPI for:
a) repository providers who wish to add a CMIS provider facade
to their repository
b) protocol providers who wish to map CMIS client requests to
protocol and map protocol to CMIS provider
3) An API to SPI adaptor (for in-process access to provider, or
protocol access to provider via API)
BTW the API to SPI adapter will likely be a set of base (maybe
abstract) classes that implement the API using the SPI in a generic
manner. It's not there yet.
