Invalid type exception means repository dosen't know the type name you want to set.
The model in which your custom content type defined in is not registered successfully, please check it.

It would really help if you would provide a code snippet that includes the setType call as well as a snippet from your content model XML showing the type's name and namespace.

Thanks to both for reply.

Hi jeff, Please look at the snippet below:

ResultSet deleteResultSet = searchService.query(storeRef, SearchService.LANGUAGE_LUCENE, "PATH:\"/app:company_home/cm:abc/*\" AND TYPE:\"cm:content\"");
NodeRef deletenode = deleteResultSet.getNodeRef(0);
deleteResultSet.close();
    NodeService nodeservice = serviceRegistry.getNodeService();
nodeservice.setType(deletenode, QName.createQName("{http://www.alfresco.org/model/test/1.0}test"));

testModel.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<model name="tt:testmodel" xmlns="http://www.alfresco.org/model/dictionary/1.0">

It seems there is nothing wrong with you model defination and your java code is fine.
How did you deploy your model,I guess it didn't deploy successfully.

I deployed context and model files under alfresco/extension folder.
I dont understand where is the issue. I am using Alfresco 4.1.6.

Again, for nodeservice.moveNode() i am getting below exception.

Caused by: org.alfresco.repo.security.permissions.AccessDeniedException: 02061839 Access Denied. You do not have the appropriate permissions to perform this operation.

You need to run that piece of code as administrator or system user.
Could you please post piece of code you are trying?

Make sure alfresco/extension folder is under your classpath and your spring context file named ***-context.xml.
You'd better paste your spring context file. and complete code you are running .
