Hi,

I generally check whether my namespaces or nodetypes are already
registered. Something like this:

    try {
        session.getNamespacePrefix(MY_NAMESPACE);
    } catch (NamespaceException e) {
        // register the namespace(s)
    }

or:

    try {
        session.getWorkspace().getNodeTypeManager()
            .getNodeType(MY_NODETYPE);
    } catch (NoSuchNodeTypeException e) {
        // register the node type(s)
    }

BR,
