CMIS add custom type to cm:folder

Question

I've one repository where I create some Site for store all documents and folders that my organization create. I've one web app that include this php library https://github.com/dkd/php-cmis-client (port of Apache Chemistry Java implementation). So I can creates documents, folder, set some properties, etc... but I would like to do "more".

I would like to extend the model and create my own model. In this case, It's very simple, I create "myPersonal" model, and create one custom type 'folderAmp' (his parents is cm:folder). And I extend this custom type and create a new property "myP:idNew" where I want to store some id code.

So, When I create a folder with this library (or maybe in java) I create it with...

JAVA

Folder parent = ....
Map<String, Object> properties = new HashMap<String, Object>();
properties.put(PropertyIds.NAME, "a new folder");
properties.put(PropertyIds.OBJECT_TYPE_ID, "cmis:folder");

// create the folder
Folder newFolder = parent.createFolder(properties);

PHP

$properties = array(
    \Dkd\PhpCmis\PropertyIds::OBJECT_TYPE_ID => 'cmis:folder',
    \Dkd\PhpCmis\PropertyIds::NAME => 'Demo Folder'
);

try {
    $folder = $session->createFolder(
        $properties,
        $session->createObjectId($session->getRepositoryInfo()->getRootFolderId())
    );

So if I want to add my new custom type... What I've to do?

I try to add with this:

properties.put(PropertyIds.OBJECT_TYPE_ID, "cmis:folder, myP:folderAmp" but it doesn't works.

You are looking for createType(). Not all repositories support it.

Get the CMIS Workbench from https://chemistry.apache.org/java/download.html , login into your repository, and open the "Types window". Select the folder type (cmis:folder). If the "Create Type" button on the top is enabled you can create a new subtype of cmis:folder. If not, either the repository doesn't support it or you don't have the permissions to do this.

But...if create type button is not enable... this repository is not "CMIS standar" ¿no?

Finally, the problem I solved it...very simple... I change

$properties = array(
    \Dkd\PhpCmis\PropertyIds::OBJECT_TYPE_ID => 'cmis:folder',
    \Dkd\PhpCmis\PropertyIds::NAME => 'Demo Folder'
);

try {
    $folder = $session->createFolder(
        $properties,
        $session->createObjectId($session->getRepositoryInfo()->getRootFolderId())
    );

By this...

$properties = array(
    \Dkd\PhpCmis\PropertyIds::OBJECT_TYPE_ID => 'F:oto:Historia',
    \Dkd\PhpCmis\PropertyIds::NAME => 'Demo Folder'
);

try {
    $folder = $session->createFolder(
        $properties,
        $session->createObjectId($session->getRepositoryInfo()->getRootFolderId())
    );

Where oto it's a model and Historia it's a custom type that I create with Alfresco Console Admin. I included all parent (cm:folder) properties in oto:Historia and create same custom properties.

When I create the folder, it's create with oto:Historia type.
