[basex-talk] XPath query with special char & fails

Dear all,

we use BaseX version 7.9

BaseX nodes and the XPath query of the getNodes()-method contains the char "&" and an exception is thrown.

Example:

//File[@originalLocation='E:\data\bugs\prom-9366\file & codemodel']/CopiedLocations/CopiedLocation

If we use JDOM Nodes the query does not fail in this case.

Why JDom can execute this query and BaseX cannot?

Is there a general possibility to avoid this special char in a BaseX query, except masked it, or could it be solved in a higher version of BaseX?

best regards
