Versioning breaks content associations?

moschops — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 00:17:57 GMT

I have a content type that has an association with a document abstract type and since I might want to reuse it I put the association in an abstractable aspect. I figured that an abstract should only have one document referencing it and a document should have only one parent so I made the source and

I'm also looking for more info on this issue as it's happening to me too. I have a custom content defined (with versioning and associations). When I create my content items (of my custom content type) and then edit online, I get this error and cannot edit it. Here are my observations:
1) I noticed that my node reference changes with each attempt to edit. I would imagine that it should remain constant as it is referencing the node I want to edit.
2) if I do not make any associations when I create my content, I can edit fine. That leads me to believe it is not related with versioning so much as it might be with the associations.
3) if I create my content with the associations (e.g. referencing an image one-to-one, and/or referencing files one-to-many) then I always get the error.

Re: Versioning breaks content associations?

I was able to figure out the cause of my issue and want to share in hopes it may help others…

Within our custom content model definition (.xml file in /opt/Alfresco/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/) we defined two associations:


  <associations>
    <association name="custom1:whatever1">
      <title>Title1</title>
      <target>
        <class>cm:content</class>
        <mandatory>false</mandatory>
        <many>false</many>
      </target>
    </association>
    <association name="custom1:whatever2">
      <title>Title2</title>
      <target>
        <class>cm:content</class>
        <mandatory>false</mandatory>
        <many>true</many>
      </target>
    </association>
  </associations>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

We received errors any time we created content that utilized those associations UPON EDITING THEM online (100% reproducible), but not when we created content that did not utilize the associations. The resolution was to add <source> elements, in addition to the <target> elements:


  <associations>
    <association name="custom1:whatever1">
      <title>Title1</title>
      <source>
        <mandatory>false</mandatory>
        <many>true</many>
      </source>
      <target>
        <class>cm:content</class>
        <mandatory>false</mandatory>
        <many>false</many>
      </target>
    </association>
    <association name="custom1:whatever2">
      <title>Title2</title>
      <source>
        <mandatory>false</mandatory>
        <many>true</many>
      </source>
      <target>
        <class>cm:content</class>
        <mandatory>false</mandatory>
        <many>true</many>
      </target>
    </association>
  </associations>

Hope that helps someone, it was very frustrating. Kudos to Richard Im (Alfresco) for his assistance.
