Re: Webdav SearchMethod and xpath query

[Angela Schreiber <an...@day.com>]

hi darren

there exists a example in the SPI contribution, that
uses the search-functionality exposed by the SearchResourceImpl
in o.a.j.webdav.jcr.SearchResourceImpl.java (thus the jcr
remoting server implementation). and this one works for SQL
and XPath queries.

do you have your own implementation of the SearchResource?
and: are you sure, your implementation understands that

{http://www.day.com/jcr/webdav/1.0}xpath

must be converted to the javax.jcr.query.Query.XPATH constant,
in order to be able to build a valid Query object?

below some conversation fragments from my test (which i performed
on my current checkout from trunk and not on the 1.1 branch. but
the code doesn't differ in the relevant parts.
