xpath query with child constraints

[Torgeir Veimo <to...@pobox.com>]

I have a hard time coming up with a way to query on content 
(jcr:contains) on subnodes of type nt:resource, combined with 
constraints on properties of the parent nodes.

Is this possible?

If you know that your nen:resource node has a nt:resource child node the 
descendant-or-self axis is overkill. this should be sufficient:

/jcr:root//element(*,nen:resource)[@isarticle]/*[jcr:contains(.,'alive')]

please note that the '*' in jcr:contains() in your query is wrong, it 
should be '.' (context node).

Is it correct to do something along the lines of

/jcr:root//element(*,nen:resource)[@isarticle]//element(*,nt:resource)[jcr:contains(*,'alive')]

where nen:resource is a parent node to nt:resource, and isarticle is a 
required attribute on the parent node?
