Hi,

This ID is JCR:UUID, which is something implemented as part of JCR implementation not exposed how it get created. So You can't control the value of jcr:uuid.

You can use path or node name as a ID for folder or generate JCR:UUID for folder but still you can't assign all type of property to certain type of node.

Check http://www.day.com/maven/jcr/1.0/4.9_Referenceable_Nodes.html for UUID support nodes.

I am not able see Folder ID. My Question is how to find Folder ID?

I able to see asset ID only.

Following steps

1) Click -> Adobe Experience Manager

2) Click -> Assets

               Right side create button is there click

               Create Folder and give name

3) Click -> Newly created folder

               Again click create button on right side top then select files upload any image

               Once upload done mouse over that image select view properties now you will see Basic view so select Advance view

               Now you will able to see your image asset, ID: 71d3a2c5-5113-458d-8edf-0a8cd892c7de like this

               Note this Asset ID is created automatically .
