So I agree that we should allow property names that match to database column
names; or we need a way to encode/decode xml safe names folded into the jdbc
datastores?
I have not been able to think of a good way to fix the propertyPattern
provided; could we turn the problem around the other way and detect an obvious
xpath expression?
if( isFullXPath( xpath )){
return null; // another accessor will need to handle the full xpath
expression
}
String attributeName = xpath.trim();
