Query regarding CMIS checkout

I am developing an web application to access my repositories using CMIS. In the application, I am trying to checkout a document using CMIS, but it is checking out the document on the app Server side. I want the document to be checked out on my client from wherever I am accessing the web app.

Please help me to set the location from my code or if I need to update a properties somewhere.

It does check out to the 'client', which is the server. The web browser/remote client is not the one actually doing the request it is the web application server. If you used DFS, for example, you'd get help but it would still check out to the application server and then you would have to initiate the content transfer to the remote client PC, using UCF or HTTP as appropriate. Remember the browser/remote client is not making the web service call, it is the application server.

You will have to code this. The web application server executes the checkout command and thus is the machine doing the checkout and the one that receives the content, once you have the content you will need to transfer it down to the client which in a generic manner will be a standard HTTP transfer.

Thanks Andy, for the solution. I had this in mind as a work around, I thought since CMIS is deployed in server there must be a way to configure the check out to client.
