Julian Reschke commented on JCR-522:
------------------------------------
Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a test case checking this.
I apologize for breaking this, but the current state of things is clearly not
optimal. There are many syntactically valid XPath queries that are neither
understood nor rejected by the parser/query builder. The longer these kinds of
bugs stay in there, the harder it may become to deploy fixes, once deployed
code relies on them.
> XPath parser too tolerant
> -------------------------
>
> Key: JCR-522
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-522
> Project: Jackrabbit
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: query
> Affects Versions: 0.9, 1.0, 1.0.1
> Reporter: Julian Reschke
> Assignee: Julian Reschke
> Priority: Minor
>
> The XPath parser seems to be too tolerant, in that it accepts expressions
> Jackrabbit is not designed to deal with, and silently treats them in some
> other way.
> For instance "/a | /b" is accepted and processed as "/a/b".
> (As mentioned on the mailing list, there may be other related issues such as
> unsupported function names that are accepted but shouldn't)
