Option 1: Create Rule that apply the space template to the new space that is created under a particular parent.

Option 2:I'm using OpenCMIS API.If through OpenCMIS if i can create the pass the template object to createfolder function and apply the template.

Please let me is it possible to do the requirement through any of the above options.

Hi,

I think that option 1 works and it is very easy to implement.
You can, for example, define a rule to execute the following script:

    var template = companyhome.childByNamePath("Data Dictionary/Space Templates/test");    template.copy(document, true);‍‍‍‍

when a folder is created in "User Homes".
The script executes a deep copy of the template folder to the newly create space: the "document" object is actually the the user home space.
