CMIS 1.1 - Create Document via Browser binding (Alfresco) - alfresco

Question

I want to use the browser binding introduced by CMIS 1.1 on Alfresco 4.2.
I can find a document with a SQL92 query but I cannot create a new one:

It seems to be a NullPointerException. In the log file I see that getGUID() is the last call:

Does anyone try to create a document via alfresco browser binding?

Answer 1

Use the apache CMIS workbench. You can also try the online version linked at Alfresco.
Us the following url to work with it:
<host>/alfresco/api/-default-/public/cmis/versions/1.1/browser
Use the browser binding and create an object, capture the url & request send.
A nice browser binding blog is found here, which explains a bit more than the Alfresco docs.

Answer 2

I found my mistake!
In order to use the cmisaction "createDocument", you need to specified the refered folderId in the query string.
Like this:
http://localhost:8180/alfresco/api/-default-/public/cmis/versions/1.1/browser
?objectId=5f2a7593-7eef-410d-9805-659dff5d4603
In that case, the new document is created into this folder.
