Hi, listChildren is only supposed to return a list of immediate children (ie no recursion).
If code using listChildren wants the entire structure is should call listChildren, using ResourceResolver.listChildren(childResource); Note, ResourceProvider.listChildren will always be called by the ResourceResolver and never directly by the client code. also, listChildren should return a true iterator, where the Resources are not loaded into memory until they are requested. Usually that means having some form of query to generate pointers to the list of Resources and as the iterator.hasNext() and iterator.next() are invoked the iterator loads the resources into memory. That way, if there are millions of children, code can retrieve the first 10 without having to wait for 1M to be loaded into a list.
