duplicate property definition in parallel types?

aweber1nj — Mon, 21 May 2012 20:05:43 GMT

I am trying to get my content model finished (or at least 1.0 of it). However, when running the model through the TestModel class, it is complaining about a "duplicate property definition" within two classes. The two properties are named exactly the same, because they apply to both type-definition

Hi

For this case Aspect is the way to achieve your goal.

Type A
–>Type A.1 and Type A.2 are two siblings of Type A, so they will share all the properties from Type A.

you are trying to use same property "td:agent" for both TypeA.1 and A.2 so here you would get a duplicate for the same property "td:agent".

So I started to tweak my configuration, and with some testing, it would appear that Alfresco mandates that property names be unique across the entire repository?

That is, the limitation of re-using a property's name appears to be "global", not just limited to siblings of a class/type? Is that correct? That would be a pretty strict "rule"/limitation that I would've thought would be spelled-out somewhere.
