Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods Deprecated Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`boolean`	`canAddChildNode(java.lang.String childNodeName)`	Returns `true` if this node type allows the addition of a child node called `childNodeName` without specific node type information (that is, given the definition of this parent node type, the child node name is sufficient to determine the intended child node type).

`boolean`	`canRemoveItem(java.lang.String itemName)`	Deprecated. As of JCR 2.0, clients should use `canRemoveNode(String)` and `canRemoveProperty(String)` instead.
`boolean`	`canRemoveNode(java.lang.String nodeName)`	Returns `true` if removing the child node called `nodeName` is allowed by this node type.
