Thanks again Peter. While going through Open CMIS Documentation, I came across references to a non-standard 'Local' Binding provided by Open CMIS Framework. My understanding is that this is a binding that can be used to invoke a CMIS Server running in the same JVM. If one were to target a new/existing Open CMIS based CMIS Server Implementation over a 'Local' binding, is it possible that it can participate in the transaction started by the client?
