What is the problem you having when trying to add the other properties? The 'removeAfter' datetime value property should be displayed something like this using a date converter:


                           <h:outputText id="colxx-txt" value="#{r['cm:removeAfter']}">
                              <a:convertXMLDate type="both" pattern="#{msg.date_time_pattern}" />
                           </h:outputText>

The 'type' is not a property on a node - so you will need to add a property resolver inner class to the BrowseBean for that - take a look at any of the NodePropertyResolver() inner classes for an example.

Hope this helps,

Thanks a lot! This works fine.

One more question though, how can I remove the filename column from the results page? I don't see any reference to it in any relevant file whatsoever.

Could it be that it is not refered to as "name" inside the system but something else?

Many thanks,
Alex

It is the name column - there are three primary columns (one for each view type, they start with these comments around line 270 in browse.jsp:
<%– Primary column for details view mode –%>
<%– Primary column for icons view mode –%>
<%– Primary column for list view mode –%>

Hope this helps,
