Note that this is happening in an application in EAP 6.1 using UserTransaction.begin() and commit() to bracket session.login() and save()/logout(). // Create nodes. Session session = repository.login(); Node a = session.getRootNode().addNode("a"); a.addNode("c"); session.save(); session.logout(); // Rename /a/c to /a/d session = repository.login(); session.getWorkspace().move("/a/c", "/a/d"); session.save(); session.logout(); // This query returns no nodes which is incorrect. Query query = session.getWorkspace().getQueryManager().createQuery("select n from [nt:unstructured] as n where localname(n) = 'd'", Query.JCR_SQL2); // This query returns the node, but node.getPath() = '/a/d' and // node.getName() = 'd' which is incorrect. query = session.getWorkspace().getQueryManager().createQuery("select n from [nt:unstructured] as n where localname(n) = 'c'", Query.JCR_SQL2);
