Hi Brian, We use the following: "SELECT * FROM my:type WHERE jcr:path LIKE '" + rootPath + "'" Where rootPath is a variable containing wildcards say "/home/%".
Your query implies your intention may be to look for instances of the type ANYWHERE in the tree where the exist in a certain named folder e.g. "foo" where you may have: /foo /bar/foo /bar/bar/foo If so then the query above may be inappropriate as I'm not sure you can use wildcards 'within' the path e.g. "/%/home/%". I suggest referring to the "Path Constraint" section (6.6.3.4) in the spec.

Unfortunately, the following query (my first attempt) returns no results: SELECT * FROM my:type WHERE contains(jcr:path, '"nodeName"') Note that the characters around nodeName are a single quote, then a double quote on the left and a double quote, then a single quote on the right. Does anyone have an idea of what I'm doing wrong? Thanks, -Brian ___________________________________________________________ The all-new Yahoo!
