I have seen a few threads on a similar topic so pardon if this is duplicated.
First off, I know that this is completely dependent on the ECM product supporting this. 2 ECM products are being considered - SharePoint 2010 (or possibly 2013) and Alfresco 4 Second this an all Java implementation from the client side. Here is the scenario. We can currently add properties to *cmis:Document* .... let's say for simplicity, we add: categoryCode, type=String subCategoryCode, type=String displayName, type=String employeeID, type=String This works fine in both products - in one case, AF4, you extend the model with an XML configuration file whereas in Sharepoint, you can use the Library Admin page to add fields of various types to the current document model. So far, so good. Now, we have a use case, where we need these same 4 properties, PLUS a List<UserNote> where: UserNote: id, type=long date, type=Calendar noteText, type=String As I see it we have to 1) define the UserNote object in the ECM backend somehow and 2) add this List<UserNote> property to the cmis:Document. What they are looking to do is to keep the history of these notes made by the user on this Document whenever they retrieve it to edit, etc. Not trying to reproduce version control as much as attaching these ad-hoc notes managed on the Document. My 2 questions are: - Can the CMIS APIs support this use case? - If so, can anyone suggest an example or point to document showing something similar to this? Thanks in advance for any insight or suggestions. -- Mark * *
