I was trying to have a deeper look at this problem and found that its
related to the way the jackrabbit QueryManager searches based on the
jcrExpression. Suppose I've created two nodes "some/test" under the root
node. Now, if i create a query like ("/jcr:root//some/test//element(*,
"my:type")"), I dont get any results. If i create the query as
("/jcr:root//some//element(test, "my:type")"), it works fine. I had a look
at the JCR spec and it says that the constraint for obtaining Descendants or
self path is /jcr:root/some/nodes// element(*, my:type).
this is just the mandatory feature set, jackrabbit also allows you to use the
descendant-or-self axis anywhere else in the path.
/jcr:root//some/test//element(*, my:type)
will not return results because you probably have no nodes under /some/test
also note that the first // is unnecessary in your case.
