No, unfortunately you can't, the property type d:noderef is treated as a system property, hence the warning you get about not being able to edit it.

I have raised an issue to raise the question whether this should remain the case (it still applies in 1.3 as well). http://www.alfresco.org/jira/browse/AWC-689

The only way you will be able to do this is to manually place the r:spaceSelector component on a JSP and manually set the property.

In 1.3 you can configure properties to use custom components but the component is still going to get disabled due to the fact that we treat d:noderef as a "system" property.

Hope that makes sense.

The d:noderef property will remain to be treated as a system property.

If you wanting this type of behaviour you could model the link to the space an association instead of a property.

The association editor will provide a list of items that match the target node type so in your case you would get a list of spaces to choose from.

With some customisation you could replace the association editor with the space picker and then create the association yourself in a custom backing bean.

OK, thanks gavinc.
I would like to model this link as an association, but the problem is I use an object layer to acces Alfresco's repository under the JSR170 api, and I can't acces this association throw this API. Is it true???
