Hi All,

Can anyone please tell me what is wrong in this statment?

          String statement = "//element(*, 
nt:unstructured)[jcr:like(@jcr:name, 'event%')] order by @jcr:name 
descending";

        Query q = 
session.getWorkspace().getQueryManager().createQuery(statement, 
Query.XPATH);
        NodeIterator nodes = q.execute().getNodes();

There are a lot of nodes with name starts with 'event', also I tried to 
use [@jcr:name='history'] as I have nodes that have exact name 'history', 
but always the itereator is empty!

Notice, when the statement is like:  "//element(*, nt:unstructured)" 
without constraints then it works and return results.

So can anyone please help me what could be the problem?
I use jackrabbit 2.1.0, I know xpath is depricated, but I have to use the 
xpath.

Thank you in advance.
