Hi Mark,
You always need a repository id to set up an OpenCMIS session!
However, if there is only one repository exposed (e.g. Alfresco), these
two lines help you detect and hide it:
List<Repository> repositories = factory.getRepositories(parameters);
Session session = repositories.get(0).createSession();
The "parameters" here don't require a repository id because the
getRepositories() operation is the only CMIS operation that works
without an id.
It returns a list of all repositories. That's the list you see in the
CMIS Workbench.
If there is only one repository, this list is short - it has one entry.
If you know that the ECM system exposed exactly one repository, it is
safe to pick the first one from the that list.
The Repository object knows its id and adds it to the parameters when
createSession() is called.
This way you don't need supply a repository id. It is determined before
you create the session.
If an ECM system exposed (potentially) more than one repository, then
you have to tell OpenCMIS which one you want to connect to by supplying
a repository id.
The CMIS Workbench presents the list of available repositories and let
the user pick.

Hello
Pardon what may be a question asked already or my likely misunderstanding:
We are using OpenCMIS libraries (Java) to communicate with both an Alfresco
4 and Sharepoint 2010 instance quite successfully. In the case of AF4,
there is only ONE repository set up. On Sharepoint, there are 4
repositories.
When initializing a Session, we have been initially setting the Map of
parameters that include (among others), the following:
parameters.put(SessionParameter.USER, cmisUserName);
parameters.put(SessionParameter.PASSWORD, cmisPassword);
parameters.put(SessionParameter.REPOSITORY_ID, cmisRepositoryId);
The *values *on these keys are variables we have set up in some properties
file for testing right now.
On the page here:
http://chemistry.apache.org/java/examples/example-create-session.html
There is a mention that the parameter *SessionParameter.REPOSITORY_ID* did
not have to be set when connecting to an ECM server that has more than one
repository and hence multiple GUIDs , one for each one that is available.
However, when I try to leave that parameter out and get the Session, I end
up with this exception:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Repository Id is not set!

org.apache.chemistry.opencmis.client.runtime.SessionFactoryImpl.createSession(SessionFactoryImpl.java:90)
at
org.apache.chemistry.opencmis.client.runtime.SessionFactoryImpl.createSession(SessionFactoryImpl.java:64)
If I use the Chemistry workbench using the AtomPub URL, or WSDL binding, It
connects and gives the list of repositories and in that case, we are not
setting any ID.
In my code where we are creating the Session, but without setting this ID
value, we get the exception above.
*This is 0.8.0 SNAPSHOT - built from source. Java JDK 6.*
Any insight would be appreciated.
