I know how to read the properties of a CMIS Document.
But how to tell which property is modifiable, which property is read-only?
Using OpenCMIS/DotCMIS.
For instance, CMIS Workbench seems to know, because in its Property Editor, it only lists the field cmis:name
, and not the other fields (like cmis:id
).
The PropertyDefinition object gives the updatability of a property. With OpenCMIS, you can retrieve "cmis:name" updatability like this :
TypeDefinition typeDef = session.getTypeDefinition("cmis:document");
Map<String,PropertyDefinition<?>> propertyDefs = typeDef.getPropertyDefinitions();
PropertyDefinition namePropertyDef = propertyDefs.get("cmis:name");
Updatability nameUpdatability = namePropertyDef.getUpdatability();
if (Updatability.READONLY.equals(nameUpdatability)
throw new Exception("This field can not be upated");
You can have a look on OpenCMIS javadoc for details about updatability values
