Hello,

I have been dealing with issues when trying to do a deployment in Community 3.2.  I unable to do the deploy because of a property value error-

org.alfresco.error.AlfrescoRuntimeException: 09090006 Property type not recognised:
   type: null
        at org.alfresco.repo.domain.PropertyValue.makeValueType(PropertyValue.java:729)
        at org.alfresco.repo.domain.PropertyValue.<init>(PropertyValue.java:691)
        at org.alfresco.deployment.impl.asr.AVMDeploymentTarget$3.execute(AVMDeploymentTarget.java:664)
        at org.alfresco.deployment.impl.asr.AVMDeploymentTarget$3.execute(AVMDeploymentTarget.java:625)
        at org.alfresco.repo.transaction.RetryingTransactionHelper.doInTransaction(RetryingTransactionHelper.java:326)
        at org.alfresco.repo.transaction.RetryingTransactionHelper.doInTransaction(RetryingTransactionHelper.java:233)
        at org.alfresco.deployment.impl.asr.AVMDeploymentTarget.send(AVMDeploymentTarget.java:699)
        at org.alfresco.deployment.impl.server.DeploymentReceiverEngineImpl.getSendToken(DeploymentReceiverEngineImpl.ja
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I have found in the code that if the content that is being deployed to the server contains a Collection(multivalue) that it will throw an exception.  At AVMDeploymentTarget.java line 664, a new PropetyValue is created and it passes null for qname -

Map<QName, PropertyValue>propertyMap = new HashMap<QName, PropertyValue>();
for(String key : fprops.keySet())
{
    propertyMap.put(QName.createQName(key), new PropertyValue(null, fprops.get(key)));
}
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Then in the PropetyValue.java if the value is an instance of a Collection, it is handled differently and attempts to make a ValueType at line 691.

ValueType collectionValueType = makeValueType(typeQName);
‍‍‍

This will always fail in this case since this method throws an exception if qname is null - which it always is.

    private static ValueType makeValueType(QName typeQName)
    {
        ValueType valueType = valueTypesByPropertyType.get(typeQName);
        if (valueType == null)
        {
            throw new AlfrescoRuntimeException(
                    "Property type not recognised: \n" +
                    "   type: " + typeQName);
        }
        return valueType;
    }
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Is there a fix for this in place?  It prevents deploying live sites for Alfresco 3.2.

First of all, thanks for taking time to track down the source of the bug!

Could you post the bug details to JIRA please? That way we'll be able to plan the fix and you'll be kept informed of any updates.

Many thanks,
Mike
