Martin Zdila commented on JCR-522:
----------------------------------
Jackrabbit also silently skips other XPath constructs it doesn't understand,
for example:
//*[name() = 'aaa'] # (here name() is unknown function as it should be
fn:name but this error is silently ignored)
//aaa[nonexistingnode] # [nonexistingnode] is ignored without a warning
//* order by aaa/@bbb # ordering by child axis is not supported but no
error/warning is generated
> XPath parser too tolerant

> Key: JCR-522
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-522
> Project: Jackrabbit
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: jackrabbit-core, query
> Affects Versions: 0.9, 1.0, 1.0.1, 1.1, 1.1.1, 1.2.1, 1.2.2, 1.2.3, 1.3,
> 1.3.1, 1.3.3
> 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)
