Hi all, 

So, we are trying to use OpenCMIS 0.2.0 to access a Sharepoint 2010 repository 
and noticed that we can't call Folder.deleteTree(). We get the following 
stacktrace snippet:

Caused by: 
org.apache.chemistry.opencmis.commons.exceptions.CmisNotSupportedException: 
Method Not Allowed
at 
org.apache.chemistry.opencmis.client.bindings.spi.atompub.AbstractAtomPubService.convertStatusCode(AbstractAtomPubService.java:405)
at 
org.apache.chemistry.opencmis.client.bindings.spi.atompub.ObjectServiceImpl.deleteTree(ObjectServiceImpl.java:370)
at 
org.apache.chemistry.opencmis.client.runtime.FolderImpl.deleteTree(FolderImpl.java:176)
...

Upon further investigation, it turns out that indeed the allowableActions entry 
"canDeleteTree" is FALSE. But there seems to be another entry that I am not 
familiar with and can't seem to find in the CMIS 1.0 spec... 
"canDeleteTreeSpecified", which is TRUE.

<allowableActions xmlns="http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/cmis/core/200908/";>
<anyAttr i:nil="true" 
xmlns:a="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/System.Xml"; 
xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; 
xmlns="http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/cmis/core/200908/";></anyAttr>

<canDeleteObject 
xmlns="http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/cmis/core/200908/";>true</canDeleteObject>
<canDeleteObjectSpecified 
xmlns="http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/cmis/core/200908/";>true</canDeleteObjectSpecified>
<canDeleteTreeSpecified 
xmlns="http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/cmis/core/200908/";>true</canDeleteTreeSpecified>
...
<canDeleteContentStream 
xmlns="http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/cmis/core/200908/";>false</canDeleteContentStream>
<canDeleteTree 
xmlns="http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/cmis/core/200908/";>false</canDeleteTree>
...
</allowableActions>


Incidentally, I have also noticed that the canDeleteTreeSpecified seems to be 
in the DotCMIS code:

http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/chemistry/dotcmis/trunk/DotCMIS/binding/converter.cs

Can somebody give some light as to what Sharepoint (and DotCMIS) is doing here? 
Are we unable to delete the trees of a folder? Or is there some part of the 
spec which I am not familiar with? Incidentally, it seems as though the CMIS 
workbench does not work either with Sharepoint.

Thanks,

Alex
