Trying to display some associations I've created and populated in Share/Alfresco through the WCMQS API.I defined the association (salesRep) against an aspect (salesTerritory) as follows:<aspect name="sagedoc:salesTerritory"> <title>Sales Territory (State)</title> <associatio

Hi Brian,

Thanks. I'll try to take a look at this tomorrow. I know that the code on HEAD at the moment handles relationships quite differently, and I think what you're seeing may be due to the way CMIS handles relationships that are defined on aspects, since aspects aren't directly supported by CMIS. The code on HEAD currently no longer uses CMIS when reading relationships, and that's one of the reasons why not.

As I say, I'll take a look just to refresh my memory, but it may be a case of either moving your association definition onto a type rather than an aspect, or waiting to take a new cut from HEAD. If the latter then I would suggest waiting for a week or two, as we have just finished merging another code line onto HEAD, and that normally causes a few issues that need ironing out.

Thanks again Brian.

I'll try defining the association against a type for the time being.
