How can I fetch associations using the alfresco WS api?

Reference node = new Reference(STORE, null, nodepath);
Association[] assoc = {new Association("my:association", AssociationDirectionEnum.source)};
QueryResult queryAssoc = repositoryService.queryAssociated(node, assoc);
ResultSet resultSetAssoc = queryAssoc.getResultSet();
‍‍‍‍‍‍

It gives me no results, although the node clearly has an association which is called my:association.
I think there's something wrong with the creation of the Association object. I did not found any documentation of it.. can someone tell me whether the assiocationType is used is correct, and explane me how the AssociationDirectionEnum works?

Thanks.

my association looks like this

         <associations>
            <child-association name="my:association">
               <source>
                  <mandatory>true</mandatory>
                  <many>false</many>
               </source>
               <target>
                  <class>my:associatedimage</class>
                  <mandatory>false</mandatory>
                  <many>false</many>
               </target>
               <duplicate>false</duplicate>
            </child-association>
         </associations>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍
