getChildByName not working

public static NodeRef findChildNodeRef(NodeRef parentSpaceNodeRef, String nodeName, ServiceRegistry serviceRegistry){ NodeService nodeService = serviceRegistry.getNodeService(); NodeRef nodeRef = nodeService.getChildByName(parentSpaceNodeRef, ContentModel.ASSOC_CONTAINS, ISO9075.encode(nodeName)

Check using the Node Browser in Alfresco Explorer for the fully qualified association names of the nodes you are finding. I suspect you will find a difference that will explain your problem.

Thanks for reply.
I checked it. For RootSpace:
There is no entry for "Associations" but it has 1 child which has 'contains' association type.
For Space1:
There is no entry for "Associations" but it has 2 children which have 'contains' association types.

RootSpace's and Space1's types are 'folder'. But one of them is created by admin, the other one is by system.
Is that a problem?

I don't think it is neccessary to encode the "name". This is not a Lucene/XPATH search.

Let me try that, too.
Thanks.

You are right, I've removed encoding and it worked.
Thanks
