How to update protected primaryType using extjs widget ?

[Hemant_arora]

I have created a custom widget using ext js and using that I am saving some properties in a node in jcr.

but it saves it as jcr:primaryType sling folder however I want to change that jcr:primaryType to my custom node type.

i tried writing like " jcr:primaryType" :"customNodeType" or "nodeType":"customNodeType" but its not working?

please help

What API are you using to modify the JCR? Ext JS is for controls on a dialog in Classic UI - not to modify JCR Nodes and Props.

Hi 

Please note that 

A protected property is one which cannot be modified (i.e. have child nodes or properties added or removed) or removed from its parent through the JCR API.

Also have a look at this old forum thread:-

And agreeing with Scott that "Ext JS is for controls on a dialog in Classic UI - not to modify JCR Nodes and Props. "

I hope this helps you.

Thanks and Regards
