Againg I created one more web-client-config-custom.xml in WEB-INF\classes\alf

You are doing something wrong.

You are doing something right when changing the file in tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco\extension
but should never touch the contents of the WEB-INF folder.
As you have seen, the one in the "extension" folder wins.

Now I have put all the files in tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension folder and merged both web-client-config-custom.xml, but again it is working for advanced workflow and not reading custom content model related information.

Any idea??

Thanks

Hi,
you have to ways to influence what is happening.

a) if a property is listed multiple times (e.g. one for node-type="mytype", one for "node-type=cm:content" ), it should only use the first one
b) if you use "replace=true" the prior definitions (from parents) are overruled instead of inherited.

So it might be that you are interfering wiht your own defintions.

BTW, I never tried mixing aspect with nodetype though, try that out and give us feedback, please
