As Bonita BPM Studio contains connectors for Alfresco 3.4 and Alfresco 4.2, i also use cmis connectors, with the above configuration:

  • admin’s username/ pass
  • repository name: Main Repository
  • Binding type: atompub
  • atompub url: the link location of CMIS 1.1 AtomPub Service Document of my alfresco http://alfresco-host:8080/alfresco
  • leaving empty the service url related params
  • use /bonita as folder name. This folder is placed in the alfresco under
    http://alfresco-host:8080/share/page/repository (where i have added some files)

In my pool, I have created a document variable, e.g. named doclist and enabled the multiple type.
I used the doclist variable to save the output of the List Documents cmis connector (set document list).

In my form I have added a container widget, and set
collection : context.doclist_ref.
Inside the container I added a link widget, and set
text: {{$item.fileName}}
type: custom url
url: "/bonita/portal/"+ $item.url

You will get a list of links to your documents.

Hope this helped.

y.g. The bad thing is that the content of your alfresco documents will be copied in your donita’s database.

  1. is multiple type enabled in your document parameter? The output (result) of the cmis connector set document list to this document parameter?
  2. have you tested your cmis connector, alone, and verified its results?
  3. part of your functionality in contained at File upload and download process example https://community.bonitasoft.com/project/file-upload-and-download-process-example
    It could help you in the UI part, and document valiables settings.
