Xpath: pure descendant-or-self axis does not work
-------------------------------------------------
Key: JCR-2797
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-2797
Project: Jackrabbit Content Repository
Issue Type: Bug
Components: jackrabbit-core, xpath
Reporter: Alexander Klimetschek
A pure descendant-or-self axis "//" does not work, albeit it is defined in JCR
1.0, section 6.6.4.6. Running this query
/jcr:root/content//
returns an error:
Encountered "$" at line 1, column 38. Was expecting one of: "or" ... "and" ...
"div" ... "idiv" ... "mod" ... "*" ... "return" ... "to" ... "where" ...
"intersect" ... "union" ... "except" ... ... ... "/" ... "//" ... "=" ... "is"
... "!=" ... "<=" ... "<<" ... ">=" ... ">>" ... "eq" ... "ne" ... "gt" ...
"ge" ... "lt" ... "le" ... "<" ... ">" ... "-" ... "+" ... "|" ... "[" ... ...
... ... ... "," ... ... ... for statement: for $v in /jcr:root/content// return
$v
It only works in combination with another location step, like
/jcr:root/content//* or /jcr:root/content//test. Tested this on a 2.2 snapshot,
but I think it was actually never supported so far.
The use case comes up when searching for a property in a subtree of a certain
node, where you want to include a property on that node directly as well, eg.
/jcr:root/content//[...@my:prop = 'value']
