with jackrabbit-core you can only use the rep:glob restriction to limit
the effect of a given ACE to those paths that match the specified globbing
pattern. since the permission evaluation in jackrabbit core is by path
it doesn't distinguish properties and nodes.

in other words: the globbing pattern will only be useful if you follow
some name convention that can then be covered by the globbing... there is
no way to specifically grant read access to properties or nodes only.

as of oak 1.0 it's slightly different:

- jcr:read is an aggregation of rep:readNodes and rep:readProperties
- permission evaluation is item base (node/property) and not path based
- oak provides a low level extension point for restrictions and you can
  plug your custom restrictions at runtime.

kind regards
