Mmm, I seam to have overlooked this update to the API (it's there since 1.6) But what do you specify in the direction parameter? From the api docs: [ .. ] Returns all related nodes that have a specific node manager and role. [ .. ] Parameters: nodeManager - the node manager the returned nodes should have role - the role of the relation direction - the direction of the relation Returns: a list of related nodes [ .. ] Now what does this mean? For instance - I want to get all child nodes from a parent node: do I set direction to "child", "parent", "source" or "destination" ? Each one is plausible. By the way; I can understand the renaming of the parameter "relationmanager" to "role" (which is the NAME of the relationmanager), but there is no explanation of the word "role" in the docs...
