as above. I've looked at "getNode" (part of javax.jcr.node) and it requires a relative path. I'm hoping there's a function that I haven't seen yet that accepts an absulate path.
Code example:
Node node = Node.getNodeByAbsulotePath("/content/my-folder-here/my-node-here");
You need a javax.jcr.Session object, to access the repository. It has the wanted session.getNode(absPath) method.
Every Node-object has a backlink to its session, therefore you can either traverse forward the node-structure via node.getNode(relPath) or just get the session via node.getSession().
