Hi,

Do you have Node reference of parent folder ? If yes then you can get children of that parent folder using this <a href="http://docs.alfresco.com/5.0/pra/1/concepts/cmis-get-node-children.html" > CMIS API</a>

Let me know if this help you..

Thanks,
Krishna

I assume you want something like

SELECT * from cmis:folder where IN_FOLDER('some_id') and cmis:name = 'some_name'

You should take a look at the public API.
