Hello, Gary. Nice meeting you at DevCon. CMIS doesn’t know anything about aspects, and the library tries to be as close to the spec as possible. So, the cmislib API itself doesn’t have a call like, “addAspect”. However, as you probably know, Alfresco has rule actions as well as behaviors, which are two things you could use to add an aspect when an object is created or updated by CMIS.

I’ve seen the Alfresco form service automatically add aspects to objects when properties that belong to those aspects are set on an object. I haven’t tested to see if this is universal behavior or just form service behavior (actually, I think AVM web forms do this as well).

Somehow, Alfresco has implemented aspect support via CMIS through CMIS policies. But I haven’t played with that yet.

Long story, short: cmislib isn’t doing anything special to deal with aspects, but the underlying repo might be, and you might be able to do what you’re trying to do through policies.

I did some initial testing with cmislib, and it’s really easy to work with. One question: will it support adding an aspect to a document when it is created in Alfresco? I only saw the ability to set properties.

Thanks! It’s great that this library is out there.

Alexey,

Can you comment on the differences between your CMIS stack and the one provided by Apache Chemistry?

Good news Jeff!

if you are interested to test against OpenText CMIS just leave us a message. We have a public server that you can use.

Jeff,

Thank you for your help as well. The testing effort was very positive and identified a couple of interoperability issues that the tc fixed in cd06.

Best, -Al
