Alfresco has provided an implementation of CMIS ever since the first draft of the specification was announced. It is the CMIS repository that all others are compared to. In this session, you'll learn how Alfresco maps to the CMIS domain model and explore how CMIS services such as query behave through live examples. You'll see how easy it is to build applications against CMIS including the use of unique Alfresco features such as Aspects.

2. Alfresco CMIS 1 I’m a Software Engineer, I would like to know… Is Alfresco CMIS Ready for Use? How Is The CMIS Domain Model Mapped? What Can IQuery With CMIS QL? How Can I Use Alfresco CMIS? What Extensions Are Supported? What’s Coming Next?

21. Domain Model Mapping 8 CMIS Document cm:content CMIS Folder cm:folder CMIS Relationship peer association only if source and target map to CMIS Document / Folder CMIS Policy  <nothing> almost, we’ll come back to this! Sub type of CMIS Document  sub type of cm:content Sub type of CMIS Folder  sub type of cm:folder Otherwise it is not mapped Type Definitions

22. Domain Model Mapping 9 Base Types cmis:document, cmis:folder, cmis:relationship, cmis:policy Sub Types D|F|R|P:<namespace_prefix>:<type_name> D:cm:savedquery F:st:site R:ia:subscribedCalendarList Type IDs

23. Domain Model Mapping 10 cmis:namecm:name cmis:objectId node ref cmis:path display path of node ref cmis:objectTypeId id of mapped type definition cmis:creationDate, cmis:lastModificationDate auditable cmis:createdBy, cmis:lastModifiedBy auditable cmis:contentStream* cm:content cmis:*version*  version store history Base Type Properties Mapped to Alfresco Equivalents

24. Domain Model Mapping 11 Projected on sub type of CMIS Doc / Folder Property Id = <namespace_prefix>:<property_name> st:siteVisibility st:sitePreset Some Alfresco Property Types are not supported d:any, d:qname, d:category property is not mapped Custom Properties On Alfresco Sub Types

25. Domain Model Mapping 12 CMIS Folder hierarchy is rooted at /Company Home / = /Company Home /Data Dictionary = /Company Home/Data Dictionary CMIS Parent / Child mapped to cm:contains Other child associations are not mapped Peer associations are mapped Exclude objects whose type is not mapped to CMIS children and associations (target) Read permissions are observed AVM nodes are not projected through CMIS Folders And Documents

26. Domain Model Mapping 13 Models are very similar, but different enough CMIS Single Version Series vs Alfresco Live/Versioned Stores CMIS Version Series CMIS Version  Alfresco version node Alfresco live Node projects itself as latest CMIS Version CMIS Checkout / Cancel / CheckinAlfresco equivalent CMIS PWC  Alfresco Working Copy CMIS create document auto creates first version Non-versionable documents  mock single version version label: 0.0, major: false Versions

31. Query 17 Query Engine built on Alfresco Lucene Index Can also access via Java SearchService Relational Model Types mapped to Tables Properties mapped to Columns Query names Type name: ns_prefix:name Property name: ns_prefix:name Two language variants Strict & Alfresco No Join (well, more on this later) CMIS QL

32. Query 18 SELECT and FROM clauses Identify which properties from which types to return WHERE clause Restrict returned rows to those that meet all constraints Predicates: comparison, in, like, null, any, is null Function Predicates: contains(), in_folder(), in_tree() Operators: and, or, not ORDER BY clause Order results by one or more columns Language Features

33. Query 19 Full Alfresco FTS language in CONTAINS() http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Full_Text_Search_Query_Syntax SCORE() used without CONTAINS() Multiple CONTAINS() Order by unselected columns Restrictions for IN, comparisons and LIKE are dropped Multi-value properties can use single-value syntax Implicit ANY Alfresco Language Variant

34. Query 20 All properties may be selected A property is queryable if indexed A property is orderable if Untokenized Both Untokenized and Tokenized Or one of the following types: d:boolean, d:datetime, d:double, d:float, d:integer, d:long, d:path NOTE: 3.2  3.3 upgrade requires re-index to support CMIS exact matching and ordering for cmis:name Lucene Indexing Considerations

35. DEMO 21 Example Queries

36. Aspects 22 Bad News CMIS v1.0 does not include Aspect support

37. Alfresco Wouldn’t Be Alfresco Without Aspects 23 Good News We Added Them Anyway

38. Domain Model Mapping 24 Aspect Definition  CMIS Policy Sub Type P:cm:titled P:cm:ownable Query via Join onto Aspect Policy Sub Type Aspect Properties  CMIS Extension Apply / Remove Aspect Get / Set Aspect Properties OpenCMIS support Aspects

39. DEMO 25 Aspects Do Exist…

40. 26 Hide complexity of on-the-wire protocol Provides concise Object-Oriented API Use with any CMIS Content Repository Tested with all major players Think of as JDBC of CMIS Varieties Java – OpenCMIS PHP Python Open Source CMIS Client Libraries
