Jackrabbit SPI to CMIS -- spi2cmis

Introduction
------------
This is an experimental implementation of a bridge from JCR to the 
emerging Content Management Interoperability Services standard (CMIS). 
Visit http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=cmis 
for more information on CMIS.

This implementation depends on Apache Jackrabbit SPI on the JCR side 
and on Apache Chemistry on the CMIS side. See 
http://jackrabbit.apache.org/jackrabbit-spi.html for more information 
on Apache Jackrabbit SPI and  http://incubator.apache.org/chemistry/
for more information on Apache Chemistry.  


Features
--------
* Exposing meta data from a CMIS repository as JCR hierarchy.

* Mapping CMIS object types to JCR node and property types. CMIS
  documents are mapped to the JCR nt:file type and CMIS folders
  are mapped to the JCR nt:folder type. 

* Tested with the following CMIS server implementations:
 
    - Apache Chemistry's CMIS implementation
    
    - Day Software's CMIS Repository at http://cmis.day.com/cmis/repository
    
    - Nuxeo's CMIS demo at http://cmis.demo.nuxeo.org/nuxeo/site/cmis/repository
    
    - Alfresco's CMIS Repository at http://cmis.alfresco.com/service/cmis


Not (yet) implemented
--------------------- 
* Query support

* Access control support

* Multi-filing support

* Support for relationships

* Support for policies

* Support for versioning


Getting started

    mvn clean install

Please refer to the tests in /src/test for basic usage information
of the spi2cmis module.
