[Neo4j] Function to check whether two nodes are connected?

[Bruno Paiva Lima da Silva]

Easy: just one.

For now, I've written this, but I'm still not sure it is the simplest 
way to write it

     public boolean areConnected(Node n1,Node n2,Relationship 
rel,Direction dir) throws Exception {
         Iterable<Relationship> relationships = n1.getRelationships(dir);

         for (Relationship r : relationships) {
             //I am only working with Dynamic Relationships
             if (r.getType().equals(rel.getType())) {
                 if (dir == Direction.OUTGOING) { if 
(r.getEndNode().equals(n2)) { return true; } }
                 else { if (r.getStartNode().equals(n2)) { return true; } }
             }
         }
         return false;
     }
