Adding a new association type

You can add custom association types in WSO2 G-Reg, and add them to assets using the G-Reg Publisher.

To create a new association type, you can specify it to be available for default or specific asset types by defining the new association type within the default, restservice, and soapservice elements in the <G-REG_HOME>/repository/conf/governance.xml file. Default association type denotes all other asset types that are not overridden. The other two association types(i.e restservice, and soapservice)denote the overridden asset types, which are REST Services and SOAP Services. 

For an example, if you want to add a new association named criticalTo, and make it available only for SOAP Services, modify the soapservice association configuration as shown below. The values within the <criticalTo> tag are the comma-separated asset types that you can associate using the criticalTo association type with a SOAP service.

<Association type="soapservice">
            <security>policy</security>
        	<ownedBy>soapservice,restservice,wsdl</ownedBy>
        	<usedBy>soapservice,restservice,wsdl</usedBy>
        	<dependancies>soapservice,restservice,wsdl,endpoint</dependancies>
            <criticalTo>soapservice,restservice,wsdl</criticalTo>
</Association>

Viewing the new association type 

Re-start the WSO2 G-Reg server, and then follow the steps 1-4 in the above section, to view the new association type you added above as shown below.
