Get hold of aspect properties with OpenCMIS

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

At DevCon in Paris we have been asked how aspects can be access through OpenCMIS. Here is a code snippet. Please note that this requires OpenCMIS 0.2.x.

CmisObject object = …

List<CmisExtensionElement> extensions = object.getExtensions(ExtensionLevel.PROPERTIES);

if(extensions != null && !extensions.isEmpty()) {
    List<CmisExtensionElement> alfrescoExtensions = extensions.get(0).getChildren();

    // applied aspects
    for(CmisExtensionElement extension: alfrescoExtensions) {
        if(extension.getName().equals("appliedAspects")) {
            String aspect = extension.getValue().substring(2);
            
            System.out.println(aspect);
        }
    }
    
    // aspect properties
    for(CmisExtensionElement extension: alfrescoExtensions) {
        if(extension.getName().equals("properties")) {
            for(CmisExtensionElement property: extension.getChildren()) {
                String id = property.getAttributes().get("propertyDefinitionId");
                
                List<String> values = new ArrayList();
                for(CmisExtensionElement propertyValues: property.getChildren()) {
                    values.add(propertyValues.getValue());
                }
                
                System.out.println(id + " = " + values);
            }
        }
    }
}

It's nice to know that this option will be supported in OpenCMIS 0.2. Speaking of which, when can we expect it to be released?

Thanks for your answer.
