Now that the CMIS 1.0 Draft Specification is available for public review, many developers are starting to ask "How can I build applications that leverage CMIS?" If you are inclined to use SOAP, then you can probably use your favorite SOAP tools to build a client application. If you are looking to leverage the REST binding, then you may need to do a bit more work.
