Still don’t have the Browser feature working, but I don’t need it currently. I am no longer getting the prompt when I use CMIS Explorer, so I figure I’m in good shape now. It may have been a combined quirk between the older version and Tomcat.

Now to throw another system up.

I’m @craigsmusings on Twitter, and, yes, I need to actually start tweeting.

@shane_dev was quick to address the issue in CMIS Explorer. At least between SVN revision 16 (time of issue report) and revision 31 (current as of this comment) there is no more basis upon BaseType.

Looking forward to your observations…

Craig, getting prompted to authenticate my REST resource, but if I just hit enter, and no authentication information, it all goes away.

You should get on Twitter and keep up with things.

And don’t worry, I’ll be sharing my observations with everyone so that it works everywhere.

(btw, did the new version of CMIS Explorer work better for you?)

Hi Dave. No disagreement. That’s why I advised as I did above and didn’t point any fingers. Having another interop plugfest like was done during August of last year will be good, too. Cheers…

Hi Steve. I’m looking forward to seeing more of your CMIS Spaces effort. Thanks for open sourcing that, too.

Hi Craig. While the spec is fluid, I think it’s expected that early adopter clients / providers will hit spec ambiguities and omissions. The issue you highlight is an example of ambiguity.

Thankfully, there are publicly available providers and consumers that help tease out these issues.

Re: community. There’s a CMIS community currently growing on Twitter. I recommend that interested parties at least use twitter’s search capability to keep up-to-date.

I’m also keeping a directory of known CMIS providers and clients at http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/CMIS#Known_Implementations_of_CMIS

Hi Laurence. I'm assuming that you're working on the AIIM interop environment. Please keep track of any interop issues you run into so that the OASIS TC can consider each in due time. When you say "10-ways from Sunday," can you be more specific? Is this is a user management problem? Update 3/4/2009: For any issues that appear to be specific to the EMC early access CMIS support, please leverage the labs discussion area. I see that you already, Pie. Thanks.

Got things working, sort-of. Now I’m authenticating 10-ways from Sunday. I did get some communication established though.

I now have an early preview install download of the CMIS Spaces Flex+AIR client (source, and CMIS Spaces Flex+Browser download soon, too, here). It also looks for folder BaseType.

Craig, looks like we are doing the same thing today. Still trying to get them to work, but I’ve got to validate a few things. What was your value for the Repository?
