Thanks Ard, I can use jcr:contains.
But how does it perform better than jcr:like with respect to performance ?

I can't do without jcr:like because I need to get all the

What are my other alternatives?
A given word in the text of a property....you should really use
jcr:contains in that case. Can't you use jcr:contains?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,
It may work for you at the moment, but a query like
'//*[jcr:like(fn:lower-case(@propertyName), '%article%')]' is
*extremely* inefficient. using the jcr:like in combination with a
prefix '%' will most certainly lead to very slow results when the
number of hits grows (even for quite small repositories). If you
really need it, and the number of nodes will grow, you
should really
look for a different solution IMO (like using a nodetype which you
search for)

Alessandro,
Thanks for explaining. Now I understood my mistake.
The mistake I did was I had uppercase letters in the pattern.
Thats why I was not getting the expected results.
After I changed everything to lower case in the pattern,
everything
works fine.
Thank you and others once again for helping me out.

Prakash

Prakash,
maybe I am still not understanding, but
//*[jcr:like(fn:lower-case(@propertyName), '%article%')] should
actually do what you want. The property values are
converted to lower
case ("MyArtcilexxx", "MyARTicleyyy" => "myartcilexxx",
"myarticleyyy") by the lower-case function, and they are
compared to
the pattern that happens to have lower case characters
there only (so
you should use lowercase letters on the pattern, of course).
Did you try it?

Alessandro,
This does not help. fn:lower-case will just convert the
letters to
lower case.
May be I was not clear in my earlier mail.
I want to retrieve all nodes whose property has values like
"MyArtcilexxx", "MyARTicleyyy", "artcilezzzz" and so on.
I want something like String.equalsIgnoreCase("article") .

Yes,
Try using //*[jcr:like(fn:lower-case(@propertyName),
'%article%')]

Hi Alessandro,
Thanks for your response.
The query //*[jcr:like(@propertyName, '%article%')]
seems to work
for me. But I have a problem here. It seems to be case
sensitive.
Is there a way to tell jackrabbit to ignore case??

Hi,
you can't search for substrings of the node name, but
if you do
store the node name in a property, then you can use either
jcr:like or jcs:contains (not just "contains", the XPATH in
Jackrabbit doesn't support it).
So try:
//*[jcr:contains(@propertyName,'article')]
or:
//*[jcr:like(@propertyName, '%article%')]

and of course the JSR-170 specs.
Hope it helps.

Hi,
I am using jackrabbit as my content repository.
Is there a way to search for nodes whose name contains a
particular word using XPath?
For example I want to search for all the nodes whose name
contains "article".
I tried this query : /jcr:root/*article* This does not work.
I also tried storing the name as property of the node
and tried
this query :
/jcr:root/[EMAIL PROTECTED]''article"]
This does not even get those nodes for which the
value of the
property is "article".
Is there any other way to achieve this ?
Thanks,
Prakash
