Hi Mark,

You always need a repository id to set up an OpenCMIS session!

However, if there is only one repository exposed (e.g. Alfresco), these 
two lines help you detect and hide it:

List<Repository> repositories = factory.getRepositories(parameters);
Session session = repositories.get(0).createSession();


The "parameters" here don't require a repository id because the 
getRepositories() operation is the only CMIS operation that works 
without an id.

It returns a list of all repositories. That's the list you see in the 
CMIS Workbench.
If there is only one repository, this list is short - it has one entry. 
If you know that the ECM system exposed exactly one repository, it is 
safe to pick the first one from the that list.

The Repository object knows its id and adds it to the parameters when 
createSession() is called.
This way you don't need supply a repository id. It is determined before 
you create the session.

If an ECM system exposed (potentially) more than one repository, then 
you have to tell OpenCMIS which one you want to connect to by supplying 
a repository id.
The CMIS Workbench presents the list of available repositories and let 
the user pick.
