You have to create your custom CmisProperty using the ObjectFactory class.
Then you need to add your custom value to the values list.

You can take a look at the sample code that I have shared here:

Hope this helps.

thanks OpenPj
but I don't have to develop a web service through a java class (like the example in the SDK), probably my question was asked in a bad way.
I'd like to know if there's an out-of-box method (like those on http://localhost:8080/alfresco/cmis ) to put some value into a custom property of a document.
What I need to do is to develop a soap envelope (I'm trying to use soapUI) that should load a document in alfresco (probably through the method addObjectToFolder), add some custom properties to de document (presently I'm able to do so through the business rule "add aspect to item") and, lastly, put a value in the field of the custom properties previously added (probably through the method updateProperties).

thanx

HI everybody
I solved the problem of adding a custom aspect with the value I want; with the method updateProperties I'm able to do it, fillin the field as the example below:


<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ns="http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/cmis/messaging/200908/" xmlns:ns1="http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/cmis/core/200908/">
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <ns:updateProperties>
         <ns:repositoryId>my_repo_id</ns:repositoryId>
         <ns:objectId>my_object_id</ns:objectId>
 <ns:properties>
            <!–You have a CHOICE of the next 8 items at this level–>
            <ns1:propertyId propertyDefinitionId="custom:my_custom_aspect"  localName=  displayName= queryName=>
               <!–Zero or more repetitions:–>
               <ns1:value>my_value</ns1:value>
            </ns1:propertyId>
                   …
                   …
  </ns:properties>
         <ns:extension>
            <!–You may enter ANY elements at this point–>
         </ns:extension>
      </ns:updateProperties>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
