[jira] Created: (JCR-740) Support for the decendant-or-self axis in
XPath predicates
Support for the decendant-or-self axis in XPath predicates
----------------------------------------------------------
Key: JCR-740
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-740
Project: Jackrabbit
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: xpath
Affects Versions: 1.2.1
Reporter: Randy Simon
For example,
I want to find the root of a node tree that contains a node with a specified id. The child node may be n layers deep in the node tree. In my specific case, I know how deep it is so
//element(*, my:foo)[bar/*/*/*/*/@jcr:uuid = 'abc']
finds the node of type my:foo that contains the child node with id 'abc'.
Now, I would like to generalize this so I thought i could simply do the following.
//element(*, my:foo)[bar//*/@jcr:uuid = 'abc']
but this does not work.

[jira] Commented: (JCR-740) Support for the decendant-or-self axis
in XPath predicates

Marcel Reutegger commented on JCR-740:
--------------------------------------
Well, the problem with the current implementation is how the path is stored in the abstract query tree. Because it uses a Path instance in RelationQueryNode other axis than child are not possible currently. The correct solution is probably to replace the Path with a full fledged PathQueryNode. Anything else is rather a hack.

[jira] Updated: (JCR-740) Support for the decendant-or-self axis in
XPath predicates
Posted by "Christoph Kiehl (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>.
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-740?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Christoph Kiehl updated JCR-740:
--------------------------------
Attachment: patch.txt
This patch is a prototype for supporting jcr:contains calls that use descendent-or-self-axis as their root:
/foo/bar/*[jcr:contains(//*, term)]
It does not support queries which use descendent-or-self-axis on childnodes:
NOT SUPPORTED: /foo/bar/*[jcr:contains(test//*, term)]
Right now it uses a keyword to recognize descendent-or-self-axis queries:
/foo/bar/*[jcr:contains(DESCENDENT_OR_SELF, term)]
We used to have queries like this:
/foo/bar/*[jcr:contains(., term) or jcr:contains(*, term) or jcr:contains(*/*, term)]
In this construct the term query is executed three times which leads to long execution times whereas the query above is much faster because the term query is only executed once.
This is just a prototype and I would like to know what you think about it. The patch needs better integration with the query builder so that we don't need to use a keyword but can use "//*" instead.
