Re: build CMIS compatible Solr

We merely used Alfresco as the other side of the CMIS coin, to prove
that our connector was working, as colleagues had knowledge of it.

And yes, that link you found is to the connector.

Hi Nicholas,

You might be interested in http://manifoldcf.apache.org/ .

You can use it to index several document repositories into solr.

build CMIS compatible Solr

2013-01-17 Thread Nicholas Li
hi

I am new to solr and I would like to use Solr as my document server, plus
search engine. But solr is not CMIS compatible( While it shoud not be, as
it is not build as a pure document management server).  In that sense, I
would build another layer beyond Solr so that the exposed interface would
be CMIS compatible.

I did some investigation and looks like OpenCMIS is one of the choices. My
next step would be build this CMIS Bridge layer, which can marshall the
request as CMIS request, then within the CMIS implementation, marshall the
requst as Solr compatible request and send it to Solr. Finally marshall the
Solr response to CMIS compatible response.

Is my logic right?

And, is that any other library other than OpenCMIS to do this job?

cheers.
Nick
