Throw exception when unsupported xpath axes are used.
-----------------------------------------------------
Key: JCR-1606
URL:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-1606 Project: Jackrabbit
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Matthijs Wensveen
When an xpath query uses the non-shorthand form of any xpath axis, it is treated as 'child'. The shorthand form of 'descendant-or-self' does work though. For example: '/*//*' does not yield the same results as '/*/descendant::*' while being equivalent.
According to the JCR 1.0.1 specification, only the abbreviated syntax need to be supported. However, I can't find what should happen when unsupported xpath features are used. It would be usefull when some exception is thrown, for example the InvalidQueryException?
