Importing node with custom association fails

Hi!

I have created a custom node type with a custom association:

        <type name="peas:imageHolder">

            <associations>
                <association name="peas:currentThumbnailFolder">
                    <source>
                        <mandatory>false</mandatory>
                        <many>false</many>
                    </source>
                    <target>
                        <class>peas:folder</class>
                        <mandatory>false</mandatory>
                        <many>false</many>
                    </target>
                </association>
            </associations>


I have created an association from a node of this type to a folder beneath it like this:
<cite>
       nodeService.createAssociation(sourceRef, targetRef, QName.createQName("http://www.peas.pro/model/content/1.0", "currentThumbnailFolder"));
</cite>

Earlier I have declared: 
<import uri="http://www.peas.pro/model/content/1.0" prefix="peas"/>


The association works and looks fine in the Node Browser.

Then I export a "peas:imageHolder" node with a "currentThumbnailFolder" association to one of it's children.

<strong>Here is my problem: When i try to import the node (at another place in the content tree on the same Alfresco instance) I get this error:</strong>

<blockquote>
Failed to execute import: org.alfresco.service.cmr.view.ImporterException: Failed to import package at line 955; column 3466 due to error: Cannot find node referenced by path peas:childAssocication[5]
</blockquote>

In the XML-file in the ACP-file I find this at the bottom:


  <view:associations>
      <peas:currentThumbnailFolder>
        <view:reference view:pathref="peas:childAssocication[5]/WorkingCopy[29]"></view:reference>
      </peas:currentThumbnailFolder>
    </view:associations>
  </view:reference>
</view:view>


The "currentThumbnailFolder" association is pointing to a folder called "WorkingCopy" so that is correct but Alfresco doesn't seem to be able to import the exported data. This seems like a bug to me but perhaps I'm doing something wrong?
Please help! Thanks!

Hi,
take a look to this https://code.google.com/p/alfresco-bulk-filesystem-import/ since it is able to perform in-place imports in Alfresco.
