You have to define your properties in web-client-config-custom.xml (if you use Alfresco Explorer). After having done that, you will be able to provide values for these properties after uploading.

Is this the way of uploading you meant?

I have done that also and those properties are also visible there in alfresco.
But I want to upload a file using web services API and want tp apply values to those properties by code.

I am using a custom java piece of code to upload files with custom meta data (that I have created in the Alfresco extensions folder).. How can I upload the file along with the metadata that I have created?
Pls help..!

Hi Nidhi,

You need to create object of NamedValue Class which will contain all the properties list

NamedValue[] contentProps = new NamedValue[1];
    NamedValue[] titledProps = new NamedValue[length];
    contentProps[0] = Utils.createNamedValue(Constants.PROP_NAME, fileName);
   for(int =0;i<length; i++){
         String attribName = get from list
         String attribValue =  get from list
         titledProps[i] = Utils.createNamedValue(attribName,attribValue );
   }

CMLAddAspect addAspect = new CMLAddAspect(Constants.ASPECT_TITLED, titledProps, null, "1");
……………………………..
…………………………….
CMLCreate create = new CMLCreate("1", companyHomeParent, companyHomeParent.getUuid(), Constants.ASSOC_CONTAINS, null, Constants.PROP_CONTENT, contentProps);

create.setType(documentData.get("documentType"));//take from what you have given in model file

Hi Khinendra,

Thank you for your quick reply… I am now able to update the metadata model for my file :

               String attribValue ="123";
               titledProps[2] = Utils.createNamedValue("{modelName}Property", attribValue);
