Creating copies of a Document/Folder
-------------------------------------
Key: CMIS-54
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CMIS-54
Project: Chemistry
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: api
Reporter: Daniel Lichtenberger
I'm implementing a Milton-based WebDAV adapter on top of Chemistry. One common
operation that I haven't been able to map to Chemistry APIs is the copying of
documents (files). In theory, I could create a new document and set all the
values and content streams of the old one, but in our case
(http://www.flexive.org) the repository doesn't expose all relevant data via
Chemistry. However, copying documents is a trivial operation when performed
using native repository methods (and it's probably faster too).
For now, I created an extension that allows me to perform the copy operation:
{code}public interface CopyDocumentExtension {
CMISObject copy(Connection conn, ObjectId id);
}{code}
I think this method would be useful on all Chemistry documents (e.g. CMISObject
or Document), similar to the "move" method that is also available for all
objects. A "copyTo" method that accepts a target folder ID would also be nice.
