Hi Michael,
these are rather questions for the user list, but anyway...

I am using setProperty(String, InputStream) resp. setProperty("content",

Also I am using the TransientRepository implementation.
When I am searching with xpath, something like //[EMAIL PROTECTED] then I
don't receive any results whereas properties being set with
setProperty(String, String) are being found.
Now I am very sure the "content" properties do exist, because I read and
write to them without a problem.
So my guess is that properties being set through setProperty(String,
InputStream) are not being indexed by default, because it could be any
kind of data, right?
that's correct. the JCR specification says that binary properties are not
indexed. basically because of the reason you mentioned. it can be anything...
But I can get them indexed?
yes, if you store the binary as a nt:resource node. this will give jackrabbit
the required information how to index the binary (mime-type and encoding).
furthermore you need to configure text extractors in the configuration.

Shall I rather use
setProperty(String, Value, int) and set the type to String and use
Value.getStream() ?
that's an alternative, but then you will get matches for tag names as well.
while you are probably only interested in the text between the elements and
attribute values.
