Hi,

I need to add a functionality that returns all nodes whose name matches 
a given pattern. For example, find all nodes whose name starts with 
"foo". How can I formulate such query using Jackrabbit's XPath. The path 
constraints don't allow any wildcards and I couldn't find a way of 
including the node name in the property constraints. XPath has functions 
such as name() and local-name() that can be used in the predicate 
expressions but they are not supported by the JCR spec.

The only workaround that I could think of was to add name as another 
property of the node. But this is redundant and I was hoping for a 
better solution.

Thanks,
Pankaj
