Create node with mandatory associations

csering — Wed, 29 Oct 2014 00:23:37 GMT

Hi all,I am trying to create a node using nodeService.createNode() in Java, but get an IntegrityException error because a mandatory association is not present. Anyone done this before? I've tried setting the association in property map and setting <mandatory enforced="false">true</mandatory

This is a known issue (https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/MNT-12367). Even though you set

<blockcode>
<mandatory enforced="false">true</mandatory>
</blockcode>

the association is enforced <strong>on node creation</strong>. You don't get a chance to set the association.

Don't use a mandatory association until this bug is fixed in Alfresco.

This an existing client model that cannot be changed, as is usually the case in these forums. Answers like 'Don't use a mandatory association until this bug is fixed in Alfresco' are not helpful or productive. Thank you however, for the JIRA link.

Anyone else come up with a workaround? Thanks.
