No, this is not possible, but you can easily filter the nodes in the iterator returned by Node.getNodes(). This would not be a performance difference if it would be implemented directly in JCR. > Also, is it possible to mark a child node definition that is also marked as > 'multiple' with 'primary'? If that is the case, maybe I could use > getPrimaryItem. Node.getPrimaryItem() simple does a getProperty() or getNode() (if property exists, it is preferred) with the exact name defined in the primaryItem setting of the node type. So if you have same name siblings, you can only get one of them (eg. "mychildnode" or "mychildnode[2]"). Regards, Alex -- Alexander Klimetschek [EMAIL PROTECTED]
