Re: [cmis] getAllVersions and PWC

[Jay Brown <jay.brown@us.ibm.com>]

I found this discussion:
  https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CMIS-431

"In yesterday's Oasis CMIS meeting the TC agreed that it was the intent of the spec that PWC's were not to be considered versions. (when discussing http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/CMIS-728 ) Although this does not change the fact that the current spec (mistakenly) says otherwise. Since the next version of the spec will reflect this I was going to leave our repository the way that it is since it will eventually be correct when the spec is fixed. Can we change the TCK such that it will no longer call this issue out as an error? I understand that technically it cannot call out the 1.0 compliant interpretation as an error either. Perhaps a warning saying that although this is correct it will be changing in the future?"

​Tx David,   

Certainly that is my opinion also, and there are other sections that support it (e.g. 2.1.13.7). 

But there are still a few places in the spec (e.g. 2.1.13.1) that try to clarify that a PWC is not a version in the version series, that end up causing confusion.     So I thought I would check  to make sure other providers were behaving the same way.

2.2.7.6 says:
"Notes: If a Private Working Copy exists for the version series and the caller has permissions to access it, then it MUST be returned as the first object in the result list."

Seemed to be clear to me. :)

Should getAllVersions return the PWC among the results (assuming the caller has access to the PWC)?   By the wording of 2.2.7.6, I think the answer is 'yes'.   But I thought I should check to make sure we are all on the same page.
