Hi,
We're currently developing a web application which (will) use Jackrabbit
to store all of its correspondence.
What I'm trying to do is to search through a subtree containing files,
and return these in a specific order based on a property in the
jcr:content subnode.
For testing purposes I'm using the search page in jackrabbit-webapp.
My XPath query looks like:
stmt = "jcr:root/people//element(*, nt:file)[jcr:contains(jcr:content,
'" + q + "')]/rep:excerpt(.) order by @jcr:content/bos:date ascending"
The query works fine, returning the nodes I'm expecting, but I can't get
the ordery by to work.
Is ordering by subnode properties in any way supported?
I suspect this is not the case, since a node might have more than one
subnode of the same name?
My next step would be to retrieve jcr:content nodes, since 99% of my
search options relate to the jcr:content properties, and access the
parent node in java, but I'm hoping there's a better solution.
(I know subpath lookups are a bad idea performance wise, it's something
that'll be changed later on)
