> The current implementation of the JCRSourceFactory is missing the support for JCR queries (XPath and SQL) and only allows direct paths (like "jcr://root/folder/file").
> I have implemented a simple query handling (see patch). It supports both XPath (required for JCR Level 1 compliance, thus any JCR implementation) and SQL (optional JCR feature). The query strings given as Source-URIs must look like this:
> XPath:
> jcr://xpath!//root/*
> (which maps to the xpath query "//root/*" which is passed on to the JCR Query)
> jcr://!//root/*
> (which is just a shorthand notation for the above, using Xpath)
> SQL:
> jcr://sql!select * from nt:base where jcr:path = '/root/myfile'
> (well, which maps to the sql query "select * from nt:base where jcr:path = '/root/myfile'")
> There is a restriction for the queries: the result to be returned must be a content-node with no children and some streamable content. The JCRNodeSource class does not allow collections to be returned. I am working on subclasses that will target this issue (using the XMLizable interface) but this is not yet finished.
> I tried to make the patch complete, including updated javadocs for the JCRSourceFactory class.
