Custom Content Model Causes

[rdifrango]

I created a custom content model and it is displaying properly in the UI.  When I go to run the following sample webscript

http://localhost:18080/alfresco/service/sample/folder

I get the following exception:

500 Description:    An error inside the HTTP server which prevented it from fulfilling the request. Message:   Wrapped Exception (with status template): Error during processing of the template 'get(name) failed on instance of org.alfresco.repo.template.TemplateNode'.

Here is my custom content model:

There may be some useful information in the Alfresco Logs

[rdifrango]

This is all the logs have and what it looks like is that the nodes that are my custom content type are note a standard noderef object.  I would not have expected this.

I also can get similar behavior by clicking on the Information on the node in the Alfresco web client.  The exception that it reports is as follows:

I finally figured it out, I wanted to allow for an aspect that had multiple values so I did the following:

            <property name="hhmi:departmentName">               <type>d:text</type>               [color=#FF0000][b]<multiple>true</multiple>[/b][/color]               <constraints>                  <constraint ref="hhmi:departmentList" />               </constraints>            </property>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Well, we decided that we no longer needed multiple values, I just changed the highlighted line to false and it worked.
