Randy Simon commented on JCR-247:
---------------------------------
This feature has saved me. However, I think there may still be some issues.
For example,
I want to find the root of a node tree that contains a node with a specified
id. The child node may be n layers deep in the node tree. In my specific
case, I know how deep it is so
//element(*, my:foo)[bar/*/*/*/*/@jcr:uuid = 'abc']
finds the node of type my:foo that contains the child node with id 'abc'.
Now, I would like to generalize this so I thought i could simply do the
following.
//element(*, my:foo)[bar//*/@jcr:uuid = 'abc']
but this does not work.
Is this supported? Should this bug be re-opened? Thanks.
