Space characters in Lucene path queries?

[aspa]

I noticed that path queries don't seem to work when the path criterion contains space characters.

Can space characters be escaped in some way in path queries to fix this?

The sample query I'm having problems with is the following:

PATH:"/app:company_home/cm:Intranet/cm:aa bb"

I'm using Alfresco community edition v2.1

the following seems to be working:

String path = "/app:company_home/cm:Intranet/cm:" + ISO9075.encode("aa bb");

Hi

Yes, spaces and a whole bunch of other characters need to be escaped as it conforms to XPATH. ISO9075 is the helper class to do this.
