using valueXPath subscript value in JPA2DataSource query

[mduduzik]

Hi,
We are testing new features in SmartGWTEE3.0/SC8.2 (7Nov2011 nightly). Can we use a datasource field with a valueXPath in an AdvancedCriteria?

Example:

Field:
<field name="name" valueXPath="child[1]/childOfChild/name">

AdvCrit:

where "name" is not NULL

Thanks.

Hi,

JPA data sources support only simple XPath expressions: property/subProperty/subSubProperty. It is specified in javadocs.

Complex XPath expressions (in your case: child[1] - use second object from underlying list) are not supported.

You can retrieve value for complex XPath but neither server side filtering nor updating will work.
