             Summary: XPath: querying for nodes named "text" and "element" fails
                 Key: OAK-4387
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-4387
             Project: Jackrabbit Oak
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Thomas Mueller


Queries that contain "text" or "element" as a node name currently fail, because the the parser assumes "text()" / "element(...)". Example query that fails:

{noformat}
/jcr:root/content/text/jcr:content//element(*,nt:unstructured)
{noformat}

A workaround is to use the escape mechanism, that is:

{noformat}
/jcr:root/tmp/_x0074_ext/jcr:content//element(*,nt:unstructured)
{noformat}

It looks like '(' and ')' are valid characters in node names, but to query for those characters, they need to be escaped.
