NAME

WebService::Cmis - Perl interface to CMIS-compliant document management systems

SYNOPSIS

    use WebService::Cmis;

    my $client = WebService::Cmis::getClient(
      url => "http://.../alfresco/service/cmis",
      user => "...",
      password => "..."
    );

    my $repo = $client->getRepository;
    my $root = $client->getRootFolder;
    ...

DESCRIPTION

This library provides a CMIS client library for Perl that can be used to work with CMIS-compliant repositories such as Alfresco, IBM FileNet, Nuxeo and others. CMIS is an OASIS approved specification with backing by major ECM players including those mentioned as well as Microsoft, Oracle, and SAP.

CMIS providers must expose both Web Services and Restful AtomPub bindings. WebService::Cmis uses the Restful AtomPub binding to communicate with the CMIS repository. All you have to tell WebService::Cmis is the repository's service URL and your credentials. There is nothing to install on the server side.

See the http://docs.oasis-open.org/cmis/CMIS/v1.0/cs01/cmis-spec-v1.0.html for a full understanding of what CMIS is.

METHODS

getClient(%args) -> WebService::Cmis::Client

static method to create a cmis client. The client serves as an agent to fulfill all operations while contacting the document management system.

writeCmisDebug($msg)

static utility to write debug output to STDERR. Set the CMIS_DEBUG environment variable to switch on some additional debug messages.
