Can I access the content of a DocuShare repository using the CMIS protocol?

CMIS is a recently-released standard to access ECM repositories. It is already usable with Alfresco and Nuxeo, and many other ECM vendors are implementing it, but I can’t find any information for DocuShare.

Thanks!

    Apparently yes, Xerox DocuShare (at least 6.6.1) supports CMIS.

    Reference: I have found this presentation file written by Xerox which contains this graph:

    Xerox DocuShare CMIS

    After talking with a DocuShare expert, it appears that Xerox Mobile Client for DocuShare is a CMIS client, so Mobile Client Connecter seems to be a DocuShare-to-CMIS gateway.

    The CMIS URL has a pattern like this http://yourserver/<something>/ds_mobile_connector/atom, with notably the 2 following patterns seen in the wild:

    • http://yourserver/docushare/ds_mobile_connector/atom
    • http://yourserver/documents/ds_mobile_connector/atom

    Apparently, the CMIS features:

    • does not exist in all versions of DocuShare (meaning not on old versions I guess),
    • is off by default and has to be enabled manually.
