It is a a public holiday in Germany today (May 1st Labor Day) so Juergen may be slow to respond. You might look at the Apache Chemistry guide here for an overview of the functionality on that end: http://chemistry.apache.org/java/developing/guide.html It is more than just read/write. There is the initial authentication/connection, listing available files and folders, navigating through folder hierarchies, creating folders, as well as reading and writing files. Of course, permissions might be setup to allow or disallow any of these. So you might need to react to the case where a user can read and write in one folder but finds another folder is read-only. And what about when creating a new document? Should we allow setting of initial permissions then? Also, deleting a file or folder is something to think about. So how to decide? One approach might be to set up your own CMIS server and try connecting to it from other client UI's. What do they do well? What doesn't work well? Based on that investigation you might have a better idea. -Rob > > On Tue, Apr 30, 2013 at 7:53 PM, Rob Weir <robw...@apache.org> wrote: > >> On Tue, Apr 30, 2013 at 2:12 AM, Juergen Schmidt <jogischm...@gmail.com> >> wrote: >> > Hi Rajath, >> > >> > the UCB (universal content broker) defines an API to access files in >> whatever file system, file storage etc. For each file store/system a UCP >> (universal content provider) has to be implemented that implements the UCP >> API.
