[jira] Closed: (JCR-1288) query parser doesn't handle relative XPath expressions

["Julian Reschke (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-1288?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Julian Reschke closed JCR-1288.
-------------------------------

    Resolution: Invalid

Talked to Marcel Reutegger. PathQueryNode has a flag keeping the "isabsolute" information, and code that uses the query tree representation needs to process that.

So no bug.

> JSR-170 says that relative query (XPATH) expression are evaluated against "/jcr:root", thus
> (1)  a/b
> and
> (2)  /jcr:root/a/b
> would be equivalent, while
> (3)  /a/b
> means something else (will never match anything). Unfortunately, the query parser seems to treat (1) and (3) the same way, which makes it hard to disnguish the two cases.
> (this probably means that Jackrabbit accepts a class of broken queries (3) that it shouldn't accept)
