I need to execute a query like this:

I guess you rather mean:

//element(*, nt:foo)[EMAIL PROTECTED]'a' and @bar='b']]

Yes ;)

but in any case, this is currently not possible in jackrabbit.

Could you give me a pointer what has to be done to support this? Is it a desirable feature at all?

Or is it maybe easier to implement support for the ancestor axis? The query could be rewritten like this:

//element(*, nt:foo)/[EMAIL PROTECTED]'a' and @bar='b']/..

This means I need all nodes of type "nt:foo" which have "foo=a" and "bar=b" on _one_ specific childnode. If I write it like that

//element(*, nt:foo)[test/@foo='a' and test/@bar='b']

that's kind of the workaround for the above mentioned limitation.

it seems like the condition is matched if for example "test[1]/@foo='a' and test[2]/@bar='b'" is true.

correct.

looks like another argument for Davids DM Rule #4.

Well ... I think it's kind of a weak argument ;) I would better like to add the missing feature to Jackrabbit.

Cheers,
Christoph
