Associations with actions

[vicente_guardio]

Hi all,

I'm facing the following problem and I hope you could help me.

I need to set up relationships between documents in order to represent that Doc-1 references Doc-2, e.g. I need to represent in Alfresco the typical section of documents "Related documents".

As far as I've read, this is possible to achieve using associations (child and non-child).

But I also need some extra functionality based on these relationships. I need that every time a document which is being referenced by other document is modified or a new version is created, Alfresco could notify some users about the change, in order to update the referenced documents.

Does anyone know or have any idea of how to implement this kind of functionality?

Thanks in advance

The first thing to comes to mind is to implement an update-trigger in the space containing your documents that inspects the document for the type of change being made and then propagates the change notification to the associated documents. So, you would set up such an action on each space where those documents reside.
