View source for GCube Document Library

= Design Overview =
The ContentManagementLibrary (CML) is a library that works on top of the Content Manager. This library offers a simpler way for client to access documents in the d4science system. The major change in the ContentManager is the document model (more generic, more extensible), the CML reduces the development costs for using this new feature.

= Implementation Overview =

The CML is composed by tree types of access interfaces:
*the '''CMReader''' is used to read document from a collection. it offers methods to get a document or part of it (Metadata, Annotations, Parts, Alternatives);
*the '''CMWriter''' is used to add  document or update it or a part of it;
*the '''CMView''' is used to get documents from a specific view of a collection.

In this case you have to configure your eclipse running configuration properly [https://gcore.wiki.gcube-system.org/gCube/index.php/The_Development_Cycle#A_Minimal_Client].
