             Project: OpenJPA
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: query, sql
    Affects Versions: 1.2.1
            Reporter: Milosz Tylenda

A request for query support over multi-valued elements within XML column has 
been posted on the user mailing list [1]. We currently support only queries 
over single-valued elements.

I have investigated the matter a bit using MySQL. It seems that a query working 
correctly over multi-valued elements can be constructed like this ("street" is 
multi-valued):

select * from TORDER t0 where 
ExtractValue(t0.shipAddress,'count(/*/street[text()="Lelevela"]) >= 1') = 1;
or
select * from TORDER t0 where 
ExtractValue(t0.shipAddress,'count(/*/street[text()="Lelevela"])') >= 1;

What worries me is that such a query might not be indexable even if the 
database supports indexes over expressions.
