CMIS workbench not connecting to inmemory/Alfresco repository

Question

I have setup inmemory repository on Tomcat7 and trying to access it using cmis workbench. As per instructions, I am using

http://localhost:8080/inmemory/atom

as URL for binding & leaving all other things default but I am getting "Service Unavailable" error as below with warning in log4j.log file under tomcat/bin.

WARN [localhost-startStop-1] org.apache.chemistry.opencmis.inmemory.server.InMemoryServiceFactoryImpl: Resource file with type definitions types.xml could not be found, no types will be created.

Next I tried to connect to my local Alfresco 4.2 repo using same workbench with atom URL as

 http://localhost:8080/alfresco/cmisatom

with admin credentials but again I am getting same error as below.

Answer 1

Try the following:

go to http://www.alfresco.com/cmis

There is a link to the workbench: http://cmis.alfresco.com/opencmis/workbench.jnlp

Use the alfresco cmisatom url: http://cmis.alfresco.com/cmisatom

Login as admin with password admin. This one works and you can even try your local repo.

Answer 2

Open these URLs in a web browser. If you see a "Service Unavailable" error then it's not a CMIS Workbench problem. You can also try a nightly build of the CMIS Workbench [1], which provides more detailed error messages.
