[jira] Commented: (CMIS-54) Creating copies of a Document/Folder

["Florent Guillaume (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CMIS-54?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12760570#action_12760570 ] 

Florent Guillaume commented on CMIS-54:
---------------------------------------

Up until 0.62 there was no way in the CMIS protocol to do a document copy.
This was finally added in 0.63 under the name createDocumentFromSource. But I haven't had time yet to update the Chemistry APIs to 0.63 (or 0.70 even). As soon as I get the time I'll be adding this. I definitely agree that having a way to copy documents is important.

> I'm implementing a Milton-based WebDAV adapter on top of Chemistry. One common operation that I haven't been able to map to Chemistry APIs is the copying of documents (files). In theory, I could create a new document and set all the values and content streams of the old one, but in our case (http://www.flexive.org) the repository doesn't expose all relevant data via Chemistry. However, copying documents is a trivial operation when performed using native repository methods (and it's probably faster too).
> For now, I created an extension that allows me to perform the copy operation:
> {code}public interface CopyDocumentExtension {
>     CMISObject copy(Connection conn, ObjectId id);
> }{code}
> I think this method would be useful on all Chemistry documents (e.g. CMISObject or Document), similar to the "move" method that is also available for all objects. A "copyTo" method that accepts a target folder ID would also be nice.
