final step: extracter to aspect

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

I'm so **** close in getting this to work that it's almost driving me nuts.

In Alfresco 3.2r I have created a PDF extractor replacement, it works fine and writes the values I want to the standard fields.
I also create a set of custom aspects, created a business rule so that they are automatically assigned to each and every document that is inserted in the repository.
And now I need to link the two.

I'm able to link a custom value of the extracter, say "company", to a standard field, for example "author". In the properies file that comes with the extractor I add:

    namespace.prefix.cm=http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0
    company=cm:author‍‍

Works fine. I know I have working aspects; I can enter these when ever a document is added via de web interface. So all that is left binding my working custom extracter value to this custom aspect. Like this:

    namespace.prefix.my=tenbrinke.model
    company=my:company‍‍

Not. Why?

I also created the custom-metadata-extrators-context.xml (this is a duplication of what is defined in the AMP file), but that does not make a difference.

    <bean id="extracter.PDFBox" class="org.alfresco.repo.content.metadata.PdfBoxMetadataExtracterXmp" parent="baseMetadataExtracter" >
        <property name="inheritDefaultMapping">
            <value>true</value>
        </property>
        <property name="mappingProperties">
            <props>
                <prop key="namespace.prefix.my">tenbrinke.model</prop>
                <prop key="company">my:company</prop>
            </props>
        </property>
    </bean>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I just added the "Extract common metadata" rule and now it works. One line that I overlooked in http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Metadata_Extraction
