Florian Müller commented on CMIS-871:
-------------------------------------
Re 1. The AtomPub binding doesn't send a changeLogToken. Where should it come
from?
This is a generated URL:
{{http://localhost:8080/inmemory/atom11/A1/changes?includeProperties=false&includePolicyIds=false&includeACL=false&maxItems=2147483647}}
The session.getContentChanges(null, false) method emulates paging. That is, if
the first page contained a next link (with a changeLogToken), it will call this
link to get the second page. This second call must have a changeLogToken,
otherwise paging wouldn't work. But that's the same for the Web Services and
the Browser binding.
Re 2. maxItems only defines number of items that must not be exceeded by the
server. It doesn't force the server to send that many items. It's totally fine
to only return, let's say, 1000 items and indicate that there is a next page
that the client can fetch.
The whole point of this getContentChanges() method is to eventually read the
complete change log. Using large pages minimizes the number of calls.
The session interface provides other getContentChanges() methods to only get
the tip or an excerpt of the change log.

> Key: CMIS-871
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CMIS-871
> Project: Chemistry
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: opencmis-client
> Affects Versions: OpenCMIS 0.12.0
> Environment: Windows 64 bits
> Reporter: Vincent Tang
> Labels: getContentChanges
>
> I found 2 OpenCMIS Client API problems in my test to use OpenCMIS Client API
> Session.getContentChanges(String changeLogToken, boolean includeProperties).
> The test is calling it like session.getContentChanges(null, false); You see I
> set null to changeLogToken. Based on my understanding of CMIS specification,
> I assume that the API would not include a change log token in the request.
> The problems I found are
> 1. OpenCMIS API send a changeLogToken anyway in Atompub binding but null in
> Web services binding. The latter is compliant with CMIS specification but the
> former is not. I think the OpenCMIS API in Atompub binding has a bug.
> 2. This API sends a default maxItems in request because our test doesn't
> specify one. However OpenCMIS API sends an unreasonable maxItem 2147483647. I
> think it is the maximum value of a java integer. It causes different effect
> in Atompub and web services bindings.
> In Atompub binding, because of the bug (a change log token is passed in),
> CMIS passed the change log token and the maxItems in the query, the query
> returns the change events after the change log token. Therefore the test
> cases passed.
> In web services binding, the null value change log token and the maxItems
> will effectively return the entire change log from the repository. It causes
> the query hang and eventually timed out after 300 seconds.
> This JIRA is reporting the first problem. I am not sure if the second problem
> (maxItems = 2147483647 by default) is a problem. Because CMIS specification
> doesn't say anything about the default maxItems. We will do something at
> server side to prevent such a unreasonable maxItems to be used in query.
