topic Custom Folder Created But Name is UUID? in Alfresco Archive https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/custom-folder-created-but-name-is-uuid/m-p/273507#M226637 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hi all,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I'm writing a Java-backed webscript that creates a custom folder (a type that extends "cm:folder" with a few additional attributes). The folder is created without a problem, but the "cm:name" attribute is set to the node's UUID and not the file name I'm passing into the FileFolderService. I'm using the following command, where "filename" is a String that I'd like to use as the object's name (e.g., "Test Folder"). </SPAN><BR /><BR /><PRE class="language-none line-numbers"><CODE><BR />FileInfo fileInfo = fileFolderService.create(parentNodeRef, filename, customQName);<BR /><SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN></CODE></PRE><SPAN>When I view it in Share, instead of the filename, I see the folder with the UUID as its name (e.g., "0b9a49fd-972d-448a-9fb6-f92587755433"). I've even tried explicitly setting the "cm:name" attribute after the node is created:</SPAN><BR /><BR /><PRE class="language-none line-numbers"><CODE><BR />NodeRef currentNode = fileInfo.getNodeRef();<BR />HashMap&lt;QName, Serializable&gt; propertyMap = new HashMap&lt;QName, Serializable&gt;();<BR />propertyMap.put(ContentModel.PROP_NAME, filename);<BR />propertyMap.put(ContentModel.PROP_DESCRIPTION, description);<BR />propertyMap.put(ContentModel.PROP_TITLE, title);<BR />nodeService.setProperties(currentNode, propertyMap);<BR /><SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN></CODE></PRE><SPAN>Not only does the "cm:name" attribute not get set, but the "cm:title" and "cm:description" fields are blank when I look at the node in Share. The really WEIRD thing is if I attempt to run the webscript again and create the folder with the same filename ("Test Folder"), I get a DB error tells me there's already a node with that name, even though it's clearly the UUID in Share and the node browser. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Is there another/better way to do this?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks,</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Chris</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Fri, 09 Mar 2012 03:58:00 GMT cpaul 2012-03-09T03:58:00Z Custom Folder Created But Name is UUID? https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/custom-folder-created-but-name-is-uuid/m-p/273507#M226637 Hi all,I'm writing a Java-backed webscript that creates a custom folder (a type that extends "cm:folder" with a few additional attributes).
