duplicate property in custom model

[mattv]

Hi,

I have the following content hierarchy :

A, B, C types extending type X which in turns extends cm:content.

I would like A and B to have an additional property but not C.
So i thought I could add the same property on the A type and on the B type.

But when I start alfresco, I get a "DictionaryException: Found duplicate property definition".

Am I forced to use two different property names for the same property ? Or maybe define the property on another level (but not on the X type) ? Or is there something I don't understand right.

Thanks for your help.

Did anyone find a solution to this? The answer is to use aspects instead.

Yes,
you should use aspects and the apply them to the class.
Say, one aspect containing the property/properties you want to add applied to types A and B.
You can define multiple aspects which are a combination of properties, which can be defined only once.
