---------------------------------------------

                 Key: CMIS-492
                 URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/CMIS-492
             Project: OASIS Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) TC
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: REST/AtomPub Binding
    Affects Versions: Draft 0.62
            Reporter: Steve Roth
            Assignee: Al Brown


A simple change would facilitate consumption of the REST binding for non-ATOM clients.

For instance to create a query I currently need to do:
1. repoDoc = parse(http://...)
    1. collections = repoDoc.getElementsByTagNameNS("http://www.w3.org/2007/app";, "collection")
    2. for (collection : collections)
        1. if ("types".equals(collection.getAttributeNS("http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/cmis/restatom/200901";, "collectionType"))
            1. typesUrl = collection.getAttribute("href");
    3. templates = repoDoc.getElementsByTagNameNS("http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/cmis/restatom/200901";, "uritemplate")
    4. for (template : templates)
        1. if ("query".equals(template.getElementsByTagNameNS("http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/cmis/restatom/200901";, "type")[0].getText()))
            1. queryTemplate = template.getElementsByTagNameNS("http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/cmis/restatom/200901";, "template")[0].getText()
2. typesDoc = parse(typesUrl)
    1. types = typeDoc.getElementsByTagNameNS("http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom";, "entry")
    2. for (type : types)
        1. links = type.getElementsByTagNameNS("http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom";, "link")
        2. for (link : links)
            1. if ("application/cmistree+xml;type=feed".equals(link.getAttribute("type"))
                1. descendantsUrl = link.getAttribute("href")
3. descendantsDoc = parse(descendantsUrl)
    1. types = typeDoc.getElementsByTagNameNS("http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom";, "entry")
    2. for (type : types)
        1. localName = type.getElementsByTagNameNS("http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/cmis/core/200901";, "localName")
        2. if ("MyTypeName".equals(localName.getText())
            1. links = type.getElementsByTagNameNS("http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom";, "link")
            2. for (link : links)
                1. if ("self".equals(link.getAttribute("rel"))
                    1. myTypeUrl = link.getAttribute("href")
4. myTypeDoc = parse(myTypeUrl)
    1. tableName = myTypeDoc.getElementsByTagNameNS("http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/cmis/core/200901";, "queryName")[0].getText()
    2. propNames = type.getElementsByTagNameNS("http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/cmis/core/200901";, "localName")
    3. for (propName : propNames) {
        1. if ("myPropName".equals(propName.getText())
            1. propQueryName = propName.getParenter.getElementsByTagNameNS("http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/cmis/core/200901";, "queryName")[0].getText()
5. query = "SELECT * FROM " + tableName + "WHERE " propQueryName + " = \"myValue\""
6. queryUrl.replace("{query}", query)
7. reultsDoc = parse(queryUrl)
    1. Similarly parse the query response
