Hi Sascha,

You are right, totalNumItems should stay the same for each page (assuming that the data in the repository doesn't change). Some repositories don't always return a value for totalNumItems, but that's OK from the spec point of view.

If the client sets maxItems to 5 the server MUST NOT return more than 5 hits. It may return fewer hits (because there are no more hits or because of any server constraints), but never more.

OpenCMIS doesn't have a TCK test for that, yet. It may be worth adding one...

Hi all,

I am currently struggling with the paging of a query result set.

Did I understand it correctly that “numItems” should contain the whole
number of items (if the repository knows about it)?

So for example a repository only contains 16 documents all from type
cmis:document and we have a query like:
“SELECT cmis:name FROM cmis:document ORDER BY cmis:name”

When we set the page size (maxItems) to 5 and the skipCount to 0 then
I assume that the server should pass the first 5 results (the first
page) and set the numItems to 16.
When we want the second page we set skipCount to 5 (and leave maxItems
= 5) and still numItems is 16.
Third page with a skipCount of 10 and still numItems = 16. And so on…

Is this correct?

Cause when I do it this way on the server the QueryFrame in the CMIS
Workbench gives me 11 hits for skipCount = 5 and maxItems = 5 (the
ItemIterable in the loop just goes through all pages).

I compared with Alfresco CMIS Demo server. For this the Workbench
QueryFrame properly only shows up 5 hits for every page but it seems
the Alfresco Server does set “numItems” to the summed up number of
items until current page (numItems = 5 for skipCount = 0, numItems =
10 for skipCount = 5).

I strongly assume Alfresco is right here.

Sascha
