Hi,

I've been working with an xpath query recently that's made me think that the 
descendant or self axis seems to be broken (JCR 1.4)

I have a tree of nodes like the following (written by hand as I don't have the 
actual output readily available):

cms:Views/cms:viewObject/cms:viewObject
cms:Views/cms:viewObject/cms:viewObject[2]
cms:Views/cms:viewObject/cms:viewObject[3]/cms:viewObject
cms:Views/cms:viewObject/cms:viewObject[3]/cms:viewObject[2]

Where all cms:viewObject nodes contain multiple references to other (non view) 
nodes.

In order retrieve ALL the references under for cms:Views/cms:viewObject

I think I can query like this (truncated as it's a long query)
/jcr:root/cms:Views/cms:viewObject//jcr:deref(@cms:reference, 
'*')//element(cms:content,

This query should (I believe) retrieve the referenced nodes for all of the view 
nodes (6) listed above, inclusive of the reference of the node it was called on 
(i.e. self).

I find that it is omitting the reference on the self node 
cms:Views/cms:viewObject and returns only the nodes referenced on the 
descendents of the specified view node - is this expected behaviour/a known bug 
and is there a work around apart from doing two queries?

I can provide more detailed output if necessary.

Thanks,

Benjamin
