In this tutorial you add an association to your model. An association is a logical link between content types, it is a way of connecting related content.

Complete the previous tutorials in this series before attempting this one.

  1. In your IDE, open the file aio/aio-platform-jar/src/main/resources/alfresco/module/aio-platform-jar/model/content-model.xml and load it into the editor.
  2. Change the MyCompany generic document type to the following code: 
    <!-- Enterprise-wide generic document type -->
<type name="my:doc">
    <title>MyCompany Generic Document</title>
    <parent>cm:content</parent>
    <associations>
        <association name="my:relatedDocuments">
            <title>Related Documents</title>
            <source>
                <mandatory>false</mandatory>
                <many>true</many>
            </source>
            <target>
                <class>my:doc</class>
                <mandatory>false</mandatory>
                <many>true</many>
            </target>
        </association>
    </associations>
</type>
  3. To build and restart the project see the Working with an All-In-One (AIO) Project section in the Alfresco In-Process SDK documentation.

The association has been created and deployed.
