We're having problems running an xpath query where a node name in the xpath contains a blank space followed by a period "." in the name.
For example, the following query fails: /jcr:root//mypath/My Document.txt//element(*, myType) order by @cx:created ascending It throws this exception: javax.jcr.query.InvalidQueryException: Lexical error at line 1, column 100. Encountered: "." (46), after : "": Lexical error at line 1, column 100. Encountered: "." (46), after : "": Lexical error at line 1, column 100. Encountered: "." (46), after : "" We think it's failing because of the blank space followed by the period "." in the name "My Document.txt". We tried uri encoding the name, which replaces the space with %20, but that gives us this error: javax.jcr.query.InvalidQueryException: Lexical error at line 1, column 110. Encountered: "2" (50), after : "%": Lexical error at line 1, column 110. Encountered: "2" (50), after : "%": Lexical error at line 1, column 110. Encountered: "2" (50), after : "%" Is there a consistent way of escaping the node name to get around this problem? -- James -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Xpath-queries-containing-blank-spaces-and-a-period-tf3336967.html#a9280684 Sent from the Jackrabbit - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
