JCR xpath query

created by Ming Yu in Beginner's Corner - View the full discussion

Hi, I have a question regarding a jcr xpath query. Here is an example similar to the one on jboss's website:

 

 

//element(*,my:type)[./*/*/@id=1 and ./*/*/@name='test']

 

This xpath query is equivillent to the following sql select statement:

SELECT * FROM [my:type]

JOIN [nt:base] as nodeSet1 ON ISCHILDNODE(nodeSet1,[my:type])

JOIN [nt:base] as nodeSet2 ON ISCHILDNODE(nodeSet2,nodeSet1)

WHERE nodeSet2.id = 1 and nodeSet2.name = 'test'

 

What I want to achieve is to get all entries from my:type that have a two level down childnode with id = 1 AND name = 'test'. So, these two constraints have to be met on any ONE child node.

 

But this query will actually do this: any two level down childnode contains id = 1 or name = 'test'.  The childnode can be different childnode as long as one meets id = 1 and the other one meets name = 'test'.

 

How can I achive my goal with xpath query?

 

Thanks a lot!

 

Ming
