042 * If you want to update memory and DB use {@link AssociationDefinition#update}.
043 * <p>
044 * This method is here to support a special case: the user retypes an association which results in
045 * a changed type definition. In this case the DB is already up-to-date and only the type's memory
046 * representation must be updated. So, here the DB update is the *cause* for a necessary memory-update.
047 * Normally the situation is vice-versa: the DB update is the necessary *effect* of a memory-update.
048 * <p>
049 * ### TODO: get rid of this peculiar situation and remove this method. This might be achieved by using
050 * the PRE_UPDATE_ASSOCIATION hook instead the POST_UPDATE_ASSOCIATION hook in the Type Editor module.
051 * On pre-update we would perform a regular {@link AssociationDefinition#update} and suppress further
052 * processing by returning false.
053 *
054 * @param assocDef the new association definition.
055 * Note: in contrast to the other "update" methods this one does not support partial updates.
056 * That is all association definition fields must be initialized.
