Unable to set or retrieve Document "description" property a.k.a "summary"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: CMIS-295
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CMIS-295
             Project: Chemistry
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: python-cmislib
         Environment: using revision 1038521
            Reporter: Bernhard Reutner-Fischer
            Priority: Critical


I want to createDocument and store a "Document description".
And i want to retrieve that description.

There is no way i can see to pass in the description.
When i manually set a description for a document in the underlying CMS then i 
cannot access that description anywhere in the properties!
The only spot where that description show up in the retrieved document is in 
it's XML-representation, as "<summary>" field, which is really, really 
inconvenient :)

So, both storing as well as retrieving the document description would be great 
to have!
TIA && cheers,

Gory details:
The creation looks something like this, for reference:
        upload_form = DocumentUploadForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
        if request.POST.get(u'add_document') and upload_form.is_valid():
            # we now have a django.core.files.uploadedfile.InMemoryUploadedFile
            # Note: major takes a string, not a bool! # FIXME!
            checkin_props = {u'major' : u'major_change' in request.POST and 
'true' or 'false',
                             u'properties' : {u'cmis:description' : 
request.POST.get(u'document_description')}
                            }
            ret = create(request, path, request.FILES['document'], 
auto_revision=True, checkin_props)

def create(request, foldername, filename, auto_revision=False, 
checkin_props={}):
    repo = alf_Client(request, foldername + u'/' + filename.name)
    checkinComment, doc_props = (None, None)
    if u'checkinComment' in checkin_props:
        checkinComment = checkin_props.pop(u'checkinComment')

    if u'properties' in checkin_props:
        doc_props = checkin_props.pop(u'properties')
    if auto_revision:
        try:
            old = repo.fetch_path(unicode(foldername + u'/' + filename.name))
        except cmislib.exceptions.ObjectNotFoundException:
            pass # just create a new one
        else:
            # create new revision. Omitted for brevity
    alf_dir_rs, err = repo.fetch(foldername)
    if err:
        return err
    filename.open('rb')
    try:
        doc = alf_dir_rs.createDocument(filename.name,
                                 properties=doc_props,
                                 contentFile=filename,
                                 contentType=filename.content_type)
    except:
        # handler omitted for brevity
