Hi,
In CMIS 0.6 there's no BaseType property defined on objects. The
2.7.4.1.1 you're reading talks about type definitions themselves,
which express their base type info using a baseType (note the casing)
attribute.
So the version of Alfresco you're testing probably doesn't target 0.6,
or it's an extension which we can work around using your patch yes.
Could you add it in a JIRA issue?
Note btw that I think recent version of Alfresco don't target 0.6
anymore, but at least 0.61, which may explain discrepancies. Dave can
you confirm?
In the coming days, after 0.62 is finalized, I'll update Chemistry to
target 0.62 which has a number of important changes, for instance on
mandatory properties and their names (and CMIS-defined property names
are prefixed with "cmis:").

The attached file is a feed produced by Alfresco (recent build from

</cmis:propertyString>
When Chemistry tries to parse the file, it fails with the following
error:
No such property definition: BaseType in type: APPType(document)
Reading section 2.7.4.1.1 of the spec (v0.6), it seems that BaseType
is one of the built-in properties of the Document type, so maybe
Alfresco is right and Chemistry is wrong, but I am not familiar
enough with the spec to decide whether this is the case.
A simple workaround is the following, but it's a workaround, not a
solution:

What should be the correct behaviour?
