First of all, you do not define your own types via the public API - you define them by bootstrapping a content model XML file at startup. See <A href="http://docs.alfresco.com/5.2/concepts/dev-extensions-content-models-tutorials-intro.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">content model tutorials</A>.</P><P>Do you want to create a custom type for representing users / groups? Otherwise I don't understand the second part at all. Typically you do not need to create types for users / groups since Alfresco already provides its own and only suports these. You can of course define aspects which you can use to enhance the user / group nodes that Alfresco creates with additional metadata.</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 23 Feb 2017 09:13:41 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-forum/how-do-we-use-the-java-public-api-to-define-our-own-type/m-p/23643#M10324 afaust 2017-02-23T09:13:41Z
