We’ve been working recently on a CMIS command-line client, called “cmissh”, based on the Apache Chemistry client code.
We have decided to donate the code to the Apache Chemistry project, as there are no dependencies on Nuxeo code in it.
cmissh can be used interactively (with a nice autocompletion console) to explore and run CRUD operations on a CMIS server, or as a testing tool. We’ve included, for instance, a test script in the distribution, called ‘testscript’, that can be run against the Nuxeo demo server and will fail on errors. I’ve also been able to use cmissh against the Chemistry test server.
If you are busy, you can download a binary distribution (built just before the migration to Apache) from here:
http://www.nuxeo.org/static/cmis/cmissh-20100115.zip
(or look for a later build here: http://www.nuxeo.org/static/cmis/).
and test it against our public CMIS demo server (available here: http://cmis.demo.nuxeo.org/) using the “testscript” script included in the distribution.
Here is a sample session:
