There are several methods to get the documents lists, such as getChildren(), getFolderTree() and getDescendants(). The difference between them is the usage of different URL segments to get data ("/children" for getChildren(), "/foldertree" for getFolderTree(), "/descendants" for getDescendants()), and (getChildren() returns a flat structure, while getFolderTree() and getDescendants() have a tree of items in response).

Using Java

 import org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient;

 import org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.GetMethod;

 import org.apache.commons.httpclient.MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager;


 String url = "http://localhost:8080/rest/private/cmisatom/";

 url += repository;

 url += "/children/";

 url += obj_id;


 HttpClient client = new HttpClient(new MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager());

 client.getHttpConnectionManager().

 getParams().setConnectionTimeout(10000);


 GetMethod get = new GetMethod(url);

 try {

 int result = client.executeMethod(get);

 final String strResponse = get.getResponseBodyAsString();

 } finally {

   get.releaseConnection();

 }

Using JavaScript

Creating a URL to make a request (consisting of repository name, method name, for example "/children/", and folderID to get children from):

 var url = "http://localhost:8080/rest/private/cmisatom/";

 url += repository;

 url += "/children/";

 url += obj_id;

Performing request:

 var params = {};

 params[gadgets.io.RequestParameters.METHOD] = gadgets.io.MethodType.GET;

 params[gadgets.io.RequestParameters.CONTENT_TYPE] = gadgets.io.ContentType.FEED;

 gadgets.io.makeRequest(url, handler, params);

Processing results (the code is located in the handler specified while making a request - the same way might be used for all examples in this chapter):

 var handler = function(resp) {

  var data = eval(resp.data.Entry);

   for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {

 var doc = data[i];

 alert(doc.Title);

 alert(doc.Date);

  ...etc..

   }

}
