Association Policies

Association policies provide places where you can hook in behaviors that trigger when associations are created or removed between two nodes in the Cloud CMS content graph. When two nodes are connected together via an association or an association is broken, these policies trigger and may fire into your custom handlers.

The following policies are available:

Policy QName	Description
p:beforeAssociate	Raised before an association is created between two nodes
p:afterAssociate	Raised after an association has been created between two nodes and the association has been committed to the branch
p:beforeUnassociate	Raised before an association is created between two nodes
p:afterUnassociate	Raised after an association has been deleted between two nodes and the association deletion has been committed to the branch
