Help - How to use custom metadata (not developing in Java)

ritesh

Hi friends, I´m new to Alfresco and have a doubt. I´m adding a new custom model for folders and documents. I´m not developing the application in Java but a different programming language. Once the custom model is uploaded, how can I set these custom properties? Thank you in advance.

They are in the properties array of any document.

Hi rjohnson, I´ve tried to insert these new properties in the propertyString array (when creating the document) but I can´t get it done:

<soap:Fault>
<faultcode>soap

erver</faultcode>
         <faultstring>Property xxx:yyy not found for type cmis:document in CMIS Dictionary</faultstring>
         <detail>
            <cmisFault xmlns="http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/cmis/messaging/200908/" xmlns:ns2="http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/cmis/core/200908/" xmlns:ns3="http://www.alfresco.org">
               <type>invalidArgument</type>

               <message>Property xxx:yyy not found for type cmis:document in CMIS Dictionary</message>
            </cmisFault>
         </detail>
      </soap:Fault>

Can anyone help please? How can make sure I´m inserting the new defined properties properly?

Are you trying to inteact with Alfresco via CMIS? If you do this, then there are defined ways of creating a document and updating its metadata.

What language are you using.

Have you set the document type correctly?

Hi, thanks for your reply. I´ve edited the previous message but I think I can still answer. I´m developing in Ensemble's ObjectScript and interacting via CMIS. I think I´ve set the document type correctly because when I don´t use the custom model metadata everything works fine. This is part of the request:

<soapenv:Body>
<ns:createDocument>
<ns:repositoryId>xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx</ns:repositoryId>
<ns

roperties>
<ns1

ropertyId propertyDefinitionId="cmis

bjectTypeId">
<ns1:value>cmis:document</ns1:value></ns1

ropertyId>
<ns1

ropertyString propertyDefinitionId="cmis:name">
<ns1:value>name12345.txt</ns1:value></ns1

ropertyString>

<!– THIS IS THE CUSTOM METADATA I´M TRYING TO INSERT –>
<ns1

ropertyString propertyDefinitionId="xxx:yyy">
<ns1:value>asdf</ns1:value>
</ns1

ropertyString>
<!– ———————————————— –>

</ns

roperties>
<ns:folderId>workspace://SpacesStore/1234567890</ns:folderId>
<ns:contentStream>
<ns:mimeType>application/text</ns:mimeType>
<ns:filename>name12345.txt</ns:filename>
<ns:stream>SGVsbG8gV29ybGQ=</ns:stream>
</ns:contentStream>
</ns:createDocument>
</soapenv:Body>

Thanks,

I don't think you are setting your document type correctly. I have no background in objectscript but it looks to me as if you are setting cmis

bjectTypeId to cmis:document and theirin lies the problem. cmis:document is equivalent to cm:content and your custome model will extent cm:content and call it something else (unless you have modified the base model which is very unwise). So, I'm guessing you have defined a type like xxx:mydoctype. You therefore would set cmis

bjectTypeId to D:xxx:mydoctype. With this done, you should then be able to set your custom metadats.

Good luck

Thanks a lot Bob! With this change it works perfect! Just a last question… why the prefix "D:" (without this it wouldn´t work and I didn´t understand what this prefix stands for). Anything to do with the dictionary?

Thanks for your help

kaynezhang

😧 means subtype of Document
F: means subtype of Folder
R: means subtype of relationship
P: means subtype of policy

Thanks kaynezhang!
