Hello.In my application I use org.alfresco.util.ISO9075 to encode all cm:name properties.I have the next result for that code:ISO9075.encode("…") - > _x002e_..I can not create node with that cm:name.Alfresco version - 3.4.aIs that right or this is a bug?

Looks correct behavior to me. That looks like an invalid name.

Why the result is not _x002e__x002e__x002e_ ?

Because that's not how ISO9075 encoding works…

As far as Alfresco's default name constrains are concerned:

The characters " * \ < > ? / : | are not allowed. The name cannot end with a dot.

Hi

Certain characters are allowed in XML elements at the start and others after the start.
"." only requires encoding if it is at the start - otherwise it is valid.

Thank you for answers!

If I correctly understand, I should encode last do in my name.

Hi

You only have to encode "." if it is at the start of the name (and . is not thrown out by dictionary validation for cm:name or some UI validation)
