Search on subnode properties

[Christophe Lombart <ch...@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

Is it possible to search on subnode properties ?
For example, I have a node type "page" which contains several paragraphs
(based on node type "paragraph"). I would like to seach all pages which has
at least one paragraph containing the text "something".
What is the xpath expression for this kind of query ?

If I understand correctly, not all XPath features are supported in JCR - Is
it correct ?

Thanks,
Christophe

Ok thanks Jukka. This is not urgent. I can wait.

Kind regards,
Christophe

Another request about queries would be to be able to execute queries on 
the name of a Node : eg. //*[jcr:like(name(.), '%foo%')]
Is it actually possible ?

Another alternative from "//page[jcr:contains(paragraph,'foo')]" would 
of course
be "//page[paragraph[jcr:contains(.,'foo')]]" but I believe Jackrabbit only
supports the attribute axis within predicates. I think I'll file a separate
Jira issue on this.

At least the jcr:contains() function does not support child node 
queries at the
moment, so I unfortunately don't think you can yet implement your search with
just one XPath query. I'll post a Jira issue about this, please comment 
or vote
for it if you want to speed up the process of implementing the missing
functionality.
