The library only supports the CMIS Query Language syntax as defined by the CMIS specification. So you won't be able to do anything outside of that, such as an xpath search. If you are having trouble with CMIS Query Language queries not working you can post the specific queries here and I'll try to help.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Jeff</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 20 Feb 2012 17:10:39 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/building-queries-with-cmislib/m-p/265101#M218231 jpotts 2012-02-20T17:10:39Z
