Purpose

Started up as a CMIS training lab material, this Maven archetype allows you to have a quick start on CMIS.
Possible use cases are:

• Experimenting against a CMIS 1.0 Public Review compiant server (by default the kit is configured to work against cmis.alfresco.com
  
• Starting off your CMIS based web POC and sample integration
  
• Trying out CMIS SQL via a web interface
  
• Learn more the AtomPub protocol binding looking at the Apache Chemistry sources
  

Architecture

This small toolkit leverages the Apache Chemistry (ex-Alfresco) AtomPub TCK CMIS client to offer a more high object level access to the CMIS services.

It's distributed as a Maven archetype and allows you to have a starter CMIS toolkit composed of:

• cmis-support: the chemistry-tck-atompub CMISClient wrapper, which is used by the other modules
  
• cmis-query-webapp: a sample skinny SpringMVC CMIS SQL Query webapp, allowing you to run queries against a CMIS 1.0 Compliant AtomPub server (see architecture and default ports in the picture)
  
• cmis-lab-atompub-binding: a sample JUnit4 test, running a test document / folder import and categorization in a CMIS compliant server.
  

The whole Maven artifact set is hosted in the Alfresco Community Maven repository.

Installation instructions

One Liner

It's possible to create this toolkit as a project on your local machine by running:

mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=org.alfresco.enablement.codecamps.cmis -DarchetypeArtifactId=cmis-master-labs-archetype -DarchetypeVersion=1.0-beta-2 -DgroupId=com.mycompany  \
-DartifactId=mycmiskit -Dversion=1.0-SNAPSHOT -DarchetypeRepository=http://maven.alfresco.com/nexus/content/repositories/releases -DinteractiveMode=false

Interactive mode

This toolkit can just be created interactively by running a single Maven command like:

  mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=http://maven.alfresco.com/nexus/content/repositories/releases/archetype-catalog.xml

and then selecting the cmis-labs-archetype option. You will also be asked to fill in Maven groupId, artifactId and version which you can select according to your needs.

Eclipse

You can point and click archetypes on a remote catalog using m2eclipse, installing it in your Eclipse instance.

Detailed usage

More info is provided in this blog post or in the README.txt in the generated archetype

Sample Mvn project creation

Future

• Switch to a consolidated AtomPub client technology (just need to switch a Maven dependency when/if this happens) as CMISClient.java from the Chemistry AtomPub TCK is not production ready
  

• Extend the query webapp to a full blown sample
  

• Merge efforts with ecmarchitect.com CMIS Maven Tutorial Samples
