….well in fact using numbers in space's name result in strange behaviur. E.g.:
with this xpath:


app:/company_home/cm:WiFi/cm:User-999/cm:Accounting
‍‍‍

it works, and wioth this one:


app:/company_home/cm:WiFi/cm:999-User/cm:Accounting
‍‍‍

it doesn't!(Obviusly changing name of the space during this test).

Is it a correct behaviour??? :?

Hi,

Try using Query in the below format.

Query query = new Query(Constants.QUERY_LANG_LUCENE, "+PATH:\"/app:company_home/cm:templates//*\" + @cm\\:name:*xml");

In the above Query I'm searching for XML file in /app:company_home/cm:templates space.

More over you are using space which is starting with Number(999). First encode the folder/Filename which is starting with number or has spaces and then try quering the Alfresco.
For encoding use ISO9075.encode("999");

Mahesh
