The former cascade the delete from the parent node to its children whilst the latter do not.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>The former are what you get from e.g. nodeService.createNode() and the latter are what you get from e.g. nodeService.addChild()</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Hope that helps!</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Cheers,</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Neil.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 30 Mar 2010 15:40:08 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/when-node-a-is-deleted-automatically-delete-node-b-too/m-p/232641#M185771 neilm 2010-03-30T15:40:08Z
