You should be fine to use onCreateChildAssociation()

When you register the behaviour with the policyComponent remember that you need to bind to the association and not the class i.e it should read:


this.policyComponent.bindAssociationBehaviour(
   QName.createQName(NamespaceService.ALFRESCO_URI, "onCreateChildAssociation"), 
   YourModel.YOUR_ASPECT, 
   ContentModel.ASSOC_CONTAINS,
   new JavaBehaviour(this, "onCreateChildAssociation"));
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

NOT


this.policyComponent.bindClassBehaviour(
       QName.createQName(NamespaceService.ALFRESCO_URI, "onCreateChildAssociation"),
       YourModel.YOUR_ASPECT,
       new JavaBehaviour(this, "onCreateChildAssociation"));
‍‍‍‍‍‍

Also, something to think about when using onCreateChildAssociation is that if a file/folder is renamed, then this event it triggered. But these events can be filtered out if need be.
