CMIS: Custom behaviour not triggered when creating content

Hi!I have a custom behaviour that is bind to onCreateNode. This works perfectly when I add content manually via Alfresco Explorer. But when I use a Java OpenCMIS REST/ATOM client to create content the custom behaviour isn't triggered.The code in the cmis client looks like this: Document sammansta

Problem solved.
I tried to bind my behaviour to a custom type xml_struct, when I changed that to cm:content the behaviour got trigged
this.policyComponent.bindClassBehaviour(QName.createQName(
            NamespaceService.ALFRESCO_URI, "onCreateNode"), ContentModel.TYPE_CONTENT, this.onCreateNode);
Then in the method onCreateNode I can check what type the content is:

if (nodeService.getType(newNodeRef).isMatch(
         QName.createQName(UUModelConstants.NAMESPACE_UU_CONTENT_MODEL, UUModelConstants.TYPE_XML_STRUCT)
         )) {
GOOD!
}

I'm not sure I understand why i Can't bind directly to a customized type though.
With this solution the behaviour will be triggered for every added document which isn't good from a prestanda point of view.

Thanks very much for posting this workaround. It saved me a lot of trouble trying to track down the problem.

I have submitted a JIRA ticket for this issue: https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ALF-7994?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel

Also, problems can occur in the call to NodeService.getType() unless you first check to see if the node is deleted. I have written about this on our blog: http://www.ziaconsulting.com/technology/alfresco-technology/issue-with-alfresco-cmis-and-behaviors/
