Internal layer hierarchy (OpenCMIS)

(All classes and interfaces in bold are for public use. Everything else belongs to the internal machinery.)

• Session
  Main interface of the client API.

• SessionFactory
  Interface of the session factory class.

• SessionFactoryImpl
  Factory class that creates Session objects from a given configuration.

• PersistentSessionImpl
  Implementation of the Session interface that follows the persistent model. Should be created with SessionFactoryImpl.

• TransientSessionImpl (does not exist, yet)
  Implementation of the Session interface that follows the transient model. Should be created with SessionFactoryImpl.

• CmisProviderHelper
  Internal helper class that creates a CmisProvider object. It contains code that is shared by PersistentSessionImpl and TransientSessionImpl. It shouldn't be used by anybody else.

• CmisProvider
  The low-level client interface.

• CmisProviderImpl
  Implementation of the low-level client interface.

• CmisProviderFactory
  Factory class for CmisProvider objects. Although CmisProviderImpl can be instantiated directly, this factory sets some reasonable defaults and does a sanity check on the configuration. It is recommended to use this factory to create a CmisProvider object.

• CmisSpi
  Interface of the binding implementations. This interface is only interesting for binding developers. Applications use the CmisProvider or Session interfaces that hide the binding.

• CmisAtomPubSpi
  AtomPub binding implementation.

• CmisWebServicesSpi
  Web Services binding implementation.

From an application point of view it easy to use:

• If you want to use the client API, create a Session object with SessionFactoryImpl and don't bother about the rest.
• If you want to use the low-level provider API, create a CmisProvider object with CmisProviderFactory and don't bother about the rest.

High-level APIs

From a connection/session you can get the root folder and express high-level operations
