Getting exception when adding node with child-association

[mayankjoshi]

Hi,
I am new to alfresco and kind of liking it a lot. Recently I got in this issue:

I have defined a custom type
First type:

<type name="my:a">
<title>A</title>
<parent>cm:folder</parent>
<associations>
  <child-association name="my:b">      
<target>         
<class>my:b</class>
<mandatory>false</mandatory>
<many>false</many>
</target>
</child-association>
</associations>
<mandatory-aspects>
<aspect>my:baseAspect</aspect>
</mandatory>
</type>

second type:
<type name="my:b">
<title>B</title>
<parent>cm:folder</parent>   
<mandatory-aspects>
<aspect>my:baseAspect</aspect>
</mandatory-aspects>
</type>

Also I have written a small jsp file to test this model.
ServletContext servletContext =this.getServletContext();
   ApplicationContext appContext = (ApplicationContext)WebApplicationContextUtils.getRequiredWebApplicationContext(servletContext);
   Repository repository = (Repository)appContext.getBean("JCR.Repository");
   javax.jcr.Session mySession = repository.login(new SimpleCredentials("admin", "admin".toCharArray()));
//Line#1:
Node rootNode = mySession.getRootNode();
//Line#2:
Node companyHome = rootNode.getNode("app:company_home");
//Line#3:
Node aNode = companyHome.addNode("A","my:a");
//Line#4:
Node bNode = programNode.addNode("B","my:b");

When //Line#4: is executed I get the below exception:
org.alfresco.error.AlfrescoRuntimeException: Cannot determine child association for node type '{alfresco/extension/myModel.xml}b within parent workspace://SpacesStore/605e23eb-b2ad-11db-9b78-6b973304f9e0

I am not able to understand why i am getting this exception. A similar child-association is give in contentModel.xml and it works fine.
