Hi,
I'm trying to properly escape characters in an XPath
query using jcr:contains. Based on Sec 6.6.5.2 of
the JCR spec it seemed like one should use single
quotes and backslash escape some characters (", ', -, \).
Queries like this work for me:
//element(*, my:record)[jcr:contains(.,'blah\-blah')] order by jcr:score()
descending
//element(*, my:record)[jcr:contains(.,'blah\"blah')] order by jcr:score()
descending
But
//element(*, my:record)[jcr:contains(.,'blah\'blah')] order by jcr:score()
descending
throws an exception (below).
Am I not doing the escaping correctly, or is it a bug?
Also, this brings up broader question: Are there any
libraries people use to help formulate (JCR) XPath queries,
that assist with such syntax details? It seems rather
error-prone to be constructing them by hand, particularly
with character escaping (more than one kind), etc.
Many thanks!
Joshua
