Ruchi,
You were correct! If I remove the space in my path, it works.
I wrote this method that cleans up my path so that it can be used in an xpath
expression: It works.
private String escapePath(String contentPath) {
String[] nodes = contentPath.split("/");
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
for (int i = 0; i < nodes.length; i++) {
if (sb.length() > 0) {
sb.append("/");
}
String escapedName = ISO9075.encode(nodes[i]);
sb.append(escapedName);
}
return sb.toString();
}
Thanks for the answer.
Phillip

Hi Philips ,
I am doing the same but it works.
Say , eg. I want all documents under /cms/childfolder1 which have author
as "sushma", any of the following queries returns me the documents which
are authored by 'sushma'
* /jcr:root/cms/childfolder1//[EMAIL PROTECTED]:author='sushma']
* /jcr:root/cms/childfolder1/element(*,ps:document)[EMAIL
PROTECTED]:author='sushma']
Is the space between your search string 'tag' + space + '1' a problem ?
Did you try testing it via eclipse Jackrabbit Viewer plugin ?
