Hi, Most of you on this list have heard about OpenCMIS. The OpenCMIS project has been founded by Alfresco, Open Text and SAP to build CMIS related libraries and tools for Java. In December last year we proposed a new Incubator project. Based on subsequent discussions we now would like to follow Florents and Jukkas invitation and contribute our code to Chemistry. With this email I would like to start a discussion if this is feasible and how this would look like.
OpenCMIS currently consists of the following parts: - A low level CMIS client library. It is feature complete, supports the AtomPub and Web Services binding and has been tested against a number of different CMIS repositories (OpenCMIS, Alfresco, Open Text, Chemistry, and a few more that I can't name here). There is a binding independent test suite that covers 3/4 of the CMIS specification. - A high level CMIS client library that sits on top of the low level client. It provides a nice Java API, session handling, etc. It is currently under development. - A CMIS server. It is feature complete and supports the AtomPub and Web Services binding. - An InMemory test repository for the CMIS server. A file system based test repository is under development and should be available soon. - A web based browser for CMIS repositories (AtomPub only). Our main priority at the moment is to finish the high level client. The next step is an extensive test framework. There are also several ideas for CMIS tools based on the client library. The code is already open source under the Apache license and can be found here: http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/opencmis/trunk Please let us know what you think. Regards, Florian
