Connecting to a repository¶

In order to connect to a CMIS repository you have to create a session.

A few repositories need special treatment.

Using Cookies¶

Some repositories are sending HTTP cookies to maintain state (although CMIS is stateless) or to accelerate authentication for subsequent calls. OpenCMIS ignores these cookies by default.

OpenCMIS 0.4.0 and earlier¶

The following code snippet activates cookies for your application and OpenCMIS. See this page for details. Note, that all OpenCMIS sessions share the same set of cookies.

    CookieManager cm = new CookieManager(null, CookiePolicy.ACCEPT_ALL);
    CookieHandler.setDefault(cm);

If each session has to manage a separate set of cookies, a custom authentication provider is required.

OpenCMIS 0.5.0 and later¶

OpenCMIS has per-session cookie support. It can be activated by setting the session parameter COOKIES to "true".
