Why doesn't cmislib's getDescendants() retrieve all documents?

Steven_Huwig1

I am currently using Nuxeo DM 5.7.2.

I would really like to use cmislib to access Nuxeo document metadata instead of the underlying database, but calls to getDescendants() do not retrieve the entire list of documents under a path. Is there a way to troubleshoot this?

I have looked into using the REST API as a substitute. It seems like sometimes the "totalSize" entry in the response is returning "-2" which makes no sense. This is consistent with the incomplete listings through cmislib, so I wonder if the two are related.

Please provide more information...

I believe it's just retrieving one page of results for certain subdirectories. Manually recursing via getChildren() does return a different set of files.

One more data point

Note that getDescendents() for Nuxeo CMIS has a default depth of 2.

Thanks for pointing that out, but everything I am trying to retrieve is in either the child or the grandchild of the path I'm passing in.
