Alfresco CMIS parents query returning unexpected empty result

Context

The CMIS parent operation allows one to get the full path(s) of an object from its id.
For instance, I give /alfresco/service/cmis/s/versionStore:version2Store/i/2f4cbf7a-0f8e-4fa1-81e5-8be69eb0532e and I get /Sites/swsdp/documentLibrary/Presentations.

I have an Alfresco Community 4.2.e server.
Not sure if relevant but it is purely out-of-the-box except I enabled ChangeLog:

audit.enabled=true
audit.alfresco-access.enabled=true
audit.cmischangelog.enabled=true

What occurs

When I run a "parent" CMIS request below, I get the response below which contains zero Atom entries:

GET /alfresco/service/cmis/s/versionStore:version2Store/i/2f4cbf7a-0f8e-4fa1-81e5-8be69eb0532e/parents?includeAllowableActions=false&includeRelationships=none&includeRelativePathSegment=true HTTP/1.1

What I think should occur

For reference, the CMIS standard has an example request/response for parents.
The example response contains an Atom entry which has the path I am looking for:

<atom:entry>
    [...]
    <cmisra:object xmlns:ns3="http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/cmis/messaging/200908/">
        <cmis:properties>
            [...]
            <cmis:propertyString queryName="cmis:path" displayName="Path" localName="cmis:path" propertyDefinitionId="cmis:path">
                <cmis:value>/My_Folder-0-0/MultifiledFolder1</cmis:value>

Question

Why is Alfresco not giving me any Atom entry?

What is wrong with my request? I am pretty sure the id refers correctly to the existing file /Sites/swsdp/documentLibrary/Presentations/test1.txt.

Solution

  • You are using a deprecated CMIS endpoint with an outdated CMIS implementation.

    Try:
