Hi Jukka,
I had a similar issue (on the backup tool), maybe it could be a good
addition to write a small method to check for the existence of a specific
NodeType and a Namespace.
It seems to be a common use case and catching exception for this is not a
good practice, although not JCR compliant.
If you are OK, with it, I will open a JIRA issue so we can discuss it
further.
BR,
Nico
