Hi,

Yes this behaviour is still present in 1.4, but the NamedValue object has changed a little.

Make sure your web service client jar has also been updated to 1.4.

Cheers,

Thanks for the prompt reply.

I tried this out using Alfresco 1.4 with proper clint jars but the problem still persisted.
Then I discovered that we need to define the custom properties in model.
I added the following aspects in defaultCustomModel.xml
which is registered at the boot time.

   <aspects>
      <aspect name="cm:auditable">
         <title>Auditable</title>
         <properties>
            <property name="cmath">
               <title>Path</title>
               <type>d:text</type>
            </property>
            <property name="cm:authors">
               <title>AUTHORS</title>
               <type>d:text</type>
            </property>
         </properties>
      </aspect>
    </aspects>

With this I was able to get the custom properties.
In Alfresco 1.2 I didn't have this properties in the server but somehow it worked fine at that time.

Now I have one question
when I add such properties then this would be applicable to the entire Alfresco server.
Is there any way I can confine the scope of the properties to a specific store?

Because user might be having many stores in his installation.
We dont want this custom properties to disturb other stores.

Thanks in advance.
