how can I define custom document properties with chemistry in-memory and/or nuxeo?

I'm very new to Open CMIS so I apologize if this is common knowledge. My documents need a custom property (i.e. a boolean "nm:test" or something like that) for my implementation. I've read on the web that I can do this with Alfresco via xml config/aspects. Could I perhaps do it with Chemistry In-Memory so I can test an application that's using CMIS to store documents and files? Could I also do it with Nuxeo?

Solution

  • The Nuxeo Platform doesn't implement CMIS 1.1 type mutability.

    To create new types and properties in the Nuxeo Platform, you have two options:

    • follow the documentation about document types to understand what they are and what XML to add,
    • use the Nuxeo Studio service to do that in a few clicks.

    Note that Nuxeo Studio has a free 1-month trial but is not a free service after that. However anything you've created during the trial with Nuxeo Studio can be used with no restrictions forever.
