OpenCMIS - getObjectByPath

Hey All,

Not sure if this is a CMIS issue with Documentum or with OpenCMIS. I have a test application which uses the getObjectByPath() to retrieve content. When used with another CMIS Server this method returns the object fine. When used with Documentum's CMIS server, getObjectByPath can return folders but not content. Eg, if I have a cabinet called foo with a folder under it called bar "/foo/bar" I can get this folder use getObjectByPath("/foo/bar") but if I tried to get a piece of content underneath this, getObjectByPath("/foo/bar/image.gif") it cannot find the content.

Instead, I either have to implement a query or fetch the parent folder object and look through the children for a match. Anyone else having this problem or can hint at what I maybe doing incorrectly?

Thanks,

Colin.

Hi Colin

I am seeing the same behaviour in both the Atom interface via OpenCMIS and via the WS interface via soapUI. Sorry I can't be of any help, but I feel your pain Hopefully this will get picked up before the 6.7 final release.

The problem is documentum specific. As you may know, Documentum allows to create more than one document with the same name within one folder.

So you can have two image.gif in your specified folder. For this reason, when using CMIS for Documentum you have to put the r_object_id in front of the name, e.g.

/cabinet/folder1/090f435380001b5e_image.gif

This is not very handy, but what´s the alternative?

Thanks,
