Hi John,
The reason for your error (gc:reviews is not an object type) is that Alfresco
does not map all of its child associations to the CMIS domain model, so they
are unknown to the CMIS layer. In Alfresco, we only map the folder "contains"
child association to the native CMIS folder/document parent/child relationship.
Please note, other CMIS servers may have a different approach to mapping their
notion of relationships to CMIS.
As you have seen, we map all Alfresco peer associations to CMIS relationships,
and so gc:reviews becomes visible to CMIS.
I realise this doesn't necessarily resolve your issue, but at least you should
know why it happens.
Regards,
Dave
