-------------------------------
Summary: Asynchronous Rendition Retrieval
Key: CMIS-883
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CMIS-883
Project: Chemistry
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: opencmis-server
Affects Versions: OpenCMIS 0.12.0
Reporter: Ron Gavlin
Assume a CMIS client wants retrieve a high-fidelity PDF rendition of a large,
volatile Word document with minimal idle time. In this case, a standardized
mechanism is likely needed to inform the client that the rendition is 'not yet
ready'. This scenario might occur when the client is interfacing with a
Linux-based CMIS server that forwards Word-to-PDF conversion requests to a
remote Windows server which may take some time to complete.
Would it make sense to send a standard '202 - Accepted' response code to the
client to indicate this 'rendition is not-yet-ready' condition? Once the
rendition becomes available, the rendition retrieval would return a standard
200 success response. Do you have other ideas about how this use case might be
supported in a standard way across CMIS servers?
