What you will learn

  • Add, update, delete, and search for content with increasing efficiency using HTTP and XML/JSON, OpenCMIS , JavaScript, and Groovy
  • Feed content directly into a JavaScript widget from a CMIS call JSON response, so you can see how content management servers can be accessed directly via AJAX calls from a web application
  • Integrate Drupal with a content management server via CMIS, so Drupal does not have to store documents and images
  • Integrate multiple content management systems in a standard way via an enterprise service bus and a CMIS connector
  • Handle advanced concepts such as versioning, permissions, and relationships between content items
  • Talk to the Alfresco Cloud service via CMIS, so you can make content available outside the company firewall

I have read and reviewed many Alfresco books over the years, but I must say that Martin Bergljung has done a terrific job of making a technical book easy to read. "Alfresco CMIS" is simple and easy to understand. He minimize the amount of technical jargon and if there were some concepts he felt that the reader may not know, he explained them clearly and effortlessly.He does a great job giving the history of CMIS and he does even a better job of describing the various CMIS operations in detail and in plain English. He even talks about how to install CMIS server so that the reader has opportunity to play with CMIS sample code he provides. My only wish is that the author would have talked about the CMIS operations in the context of business problem. The best technical books I have read are the ones that relate technical information to business case.I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking to write a custom app using CMIS against Alfresco repository.

This book is an excellent resource for anyone wanting to know more about CMIS (Content Management Interoperability Services). It starts out with a good introduction to the CMIS standard including the service, basic and advanced CMIS operations, and the object model. Examples include version management, security, search, and relationship management. The book illustrates various integration patterns via different uses cases. It then goes on to discuss the CMIS implementation in Alfresco (open source content management system).The book discusses various methods for accessing a CMIS server including use of a Java client as well as using using scripting languages such as Groovy. The examples and code snippets provided are very valuable for someone who wants to try out the various examples on their own. A thorough explanation of the code included in the book is also provided.The book concludes with an explanation of how to integrate other systems/applications using CMIS. The examples include integration with Drupal.CMIS is an open standard for integrating content management systems and is gaining popularity. This book provides excellent coverage on the topic with a focus on Alfresco.

As an Enterprise Architect, I work with ECM systems, Documentum, Alfresco, Sharepoint etc. Alfresco is incredibly powerful and has such a low cost comparing to other options, it has enabled me to build full fledged application suite with very short periods of time. Many organizations still have Documentum, but Alfresco can take to many other ECM systems using CMIS protocol. The resulting federated ECM system is a comprehensive solution to document management, collaboration and integration.If you are using Alfresco and need CMIS integration, stop reading the review and just buy it !I have bought >10 Alfresco books that this is among the two books that I would recommend.Enterprise ArchitectSam Wu, SAMSSOFT

This is a great book if you need to code an integration with a CMIS server such as Alfresco. Specifically, if you don't want to use a third-party API wrapper, this book will give you the details on how to implement it yourself. Or, if you want to understand what's going on under the hood of your third-party API wrapper.One area where this book could be improved is explaining error cases. For example, if I upload a file to CMIS, what errors should I expect? What if the file already exists? What if my filename is invalid? What other things can go wrong? Without this information, I am left to try all the cases myself to see what happens.

The number of solutions being built on top of Content Management Systems is plenty and across implementations, you wish that there was a common API that you could access all the CMS. CMIS is the common API via which you can access any Content Management System that supports this standard.The book starts off with an overview of CMIS and how it came about. The next set of chapters goes into the CMIS Standard, especially the different operations via which you can do create, update, delete and query for documents. These two chapters setup a solid foundation since they allowed you to understand what is happening behind the scenes in terms of the REST Calls and the data formats being exchanged in the request / response.I preferred this approach rather than jumping into a high level API that does not allow the developer to understand some of the details behind the calls. The next chapter jumps into specific support for CMIS via Alfresco.Once this is covered, you get to pick the languages via which you want to access the CMIS API. One chapter covers the Java API in case you are talking to the CMS via a Server side infrastructure or are planning to create your own service layer on top of it. In case you are looking for accessing CMIS via the Web interface, a chapter on invoking the CMIS Interface via JavaScript is also covered.The final couple of chapters delve deeper into integration scenarios with the Drupal Web Content Management (WCM) and Mule ESB Integration.Overall the book is a solid guide to the CMIS Standard via Alfresco. In case you are planning on integrating with any CMIS capable repository, keep this book handy.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.
