that's the behaviour that is specified in JSR 170. a query is executed only against persisted (saved & committed) nodes. JSR 283 is more open and allows an implementation to also take saved but uncommitted changes into account or even transient changes that are not yet saved. Jackrabbit currently does not implement any of the above. > The only xpath query to find it is the simple > 'return everything' query //* > but that's not very useful. yeah, that's a special case. instead of actually executing a 'query' it simply returns an iterator that walks the workspace tree. that also includes transient changes. > any ideas/suggestions will be welcome create a JIRA issue and submit a patch :) regards marcel
