Chris Hubick created CMIS-529:
---------------------------------
Summary: Allow simultaneous/atomic update of both document
properties+content without PWC requirement.
Key: CMIS-529
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CMIS-529
Project: Chemistry
Issue Type: Wish
Components: opencmis-client
Affects Versions: OpenCMIS 0.7.0
Reporter: Chris Hubick
Priority: Minor
There exists a method Document.checkIn(boolean major, Map<String, ?>
properties, ContentStream contentStream, String checkinComment); which is used
to simultaneously update *both* the properties and content for the private
working copy. Very handy.
However, if one is not modifying a private working copy, then they must perform
*two* separate method calls: CmisObject.updateProperties(Map<String, ?>
properties, boolean refresh); and Document.setContentStream(ContentStream
contentStream, boolean overwrite, boolean refresh);
If a CMS implementation performs automatic version incrementing upon
modifications, this will then result in *two* version increments, instead of
only one when using a private working copy. That is less than ideal.
It would be nice if the CMIS protocol had an atomic operation for this, and if
anyone from the Chemistry project is in contact with the CMIS working group, it
would make a nice feature for CMIS 1.1 :) (I can't file this enhancement
request in the OASIS JIRA, as it isn't really public)
With the hope that such a protocol feature might be added in the future, or
even without such support, it could still be a nice feature for the OpenCMIS
client API to provide programmers an easy way to combine those two method calls
into one, perhaps by adding a method like:
ObjectId Document.update(Map<String, ?> properties, ContentStream
contentStream, boolean overwrite, boolean refresh);
Thanks.
