> jcr:deref in xpath predicates

>                 Key: JCR-977
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-977
>             Project: Jackrabbit
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: query
>         Environment: n/a
>            Reporter: Frederic Esnault
>
> Currently, the jcr:deref() function is not allowed in a xpath query 
> predicate. Example :
> book holds a reference property on its author(s)
> authors have a name
> We want all books from a specific author :
> /jcr:root/element(*, bookType)[jcr:deref(@author, 'authorType')/@name = 
> 'King']
> This fails with an InvalidQueryException currently (not supported).
> The error is raised in the XPathQueryBuilder class, in function : private 
> QueryNode createFunction(SimpleNode node, QueryNode queryNode), in the block :
> else if (NameFormat.format(JCR_DEREF, resolver).equals(fName))
> Problem is that with this query, when evaluating the jcr:deref() function, 
> then in this method at this point, queryNode.getType() is 0 and tests raise 
> the exception if queryNode.getType() is neither QueryNode.TYPE_LOCATION nor 
> QueryNode.TYPE_PATH.
> I think this is a useful place to put a deref function in a query, as I don't 
> know how we could test the referenced node properties another way.
