[jira] Updated: (JCR-977) jcr:deref in xpath predicates

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-977?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Frederic Esnault updated JCR-977:
---------------------------------

    Description: 
Currently, the jcr:deref() function is not allowed in a xpath query predicate. Example :
book holds a reference property on its author(s)
authors have a name

We want all books from a specific author :

/jcr:root/element(*, bookType)[jcr:deref(@author, 'authorType')/@name = 'King']

This fails with an InvalidQueryException currently (not supported).

The error is raised in the XPathQueryBuilder class, in function : private QueryNode createFunction(SimpleNode node, QueryNode queryNode), in the block :
else if (NameFormat.format(JCR_DEREF, resolver).equals(fName))

Problem is that with this query, when evaluating the jcr:deref() function, then in this method at this point, queryNode.getType() is 0 and tests raise the exception if queryNode.getType() is neither QueryNode.TYPE_LOCATION nor QueryNode.TYPE_PATH.

I think this is a useful place to put a deref function in a query, as I don't know how we could test the referenced node properties another way.
