Association to specific version on another node

Dear All.
I've created custom model and I'd like to create association with specific version of another node.
Is this possible? If so, could someone please advise on how to achieve that?

So far, association point to working copy of node, which is not what I want.

Thanks in advance.

Hi kokachev,

I guess you will have to code it by getting the nodeRef of the version you want to create the association to.

You could do it using the VersionService if you know the version or you could run through the versionHistory and get the one you want.

VersionHistory versionHistory = versionService.getVersionHistory(nodeRef);

Version version = null;

if(myVersionString != null && !myVersionString.equals(""))
{
   //if you know the version
   version = versionHistory.getVersion(myVersionString);
}
else
{
   for(Version currentVersion : versionHistory.getAllVersions)
   {
      if(… whatever your condition is …)
      {
         version = currentVersion;
         break;
      }
   }
}

if(version != null)
{
   // Get the nodeRef of the version
   NodeRef versionNodeRef = version.getFrozenStateNodeRef();

   // Create the association
}

I must say I've never tried doing so… so I don't know if there will be any policy of permission issues…
