Connecting and setting up a session with the repository

Before we start working with the repository, we must first create a session and connect to it. In the CmisClient class, add the following Hash map that will contain active sessions:

public class CmisClient {
  private static Log logger = LogFactory.getLog(CmisClient.class);
  private static Map<String, Session> connections = new 
    ConcurrentHashMap<String, Session>();
  public CmisClient() {    }
}
