CPS-309 - Getting issue details... STATUS


DB contains something like /bookstore/category[@code=01]    'code 'is the key for the list entry but there is also a 'name' attribute

user does NOT know the key value (or even what the key attribute is)


Imagine category has 'name' value. 'SciFi. The user wants to find a category with that name using

//category[@name='SciFi']

This means any xPath that ends-with a 'category' (list entry) that as an attribute of 'name' with value 'SciFi'

System COULD find out using models but the path is incomplete for more than 1 match possible for 'category' in theory. But this might not be needed. Instead, the following steps will be used;


Query Steps

1) looks for xPath that ends with //category[@name='SciFi'] -> 0 results (existing behavior, no new code)

NEW CODE 

2) look for xPath that ends with //category[@name=*] →  (OPTIMISATION STEP - could go straight to step 3)
a) 0 results -> 'name' is NOT the key, continue with step 3
b) 1+ results 'name' is key but value not found, no need to continue!

3) Looks for XPath that ends with //category[@*] AND attributes(jsonb) contains "name='SciFi'"

Note. the part for "attributes(jsonb) contains "name='SciFi'"" has already been implemented for another query

Note. Document limitations and existing cps path.
