RE: SEARCH by last path segment, Was: SEARCH for displayname

Hi,

there is no processing sequence. A resource is in scope when 

it is included AND is NOT excluded, 

which is the same as

it is NOT excluded AND is included.

regards,
Martin

So includes are processed before excludes? If this is the case, then it 
may be sufficient to rewrite the example to...:


<d:scope>
   <d:href>/container1/</d:href>
   <d:depth>infinity</d:depth>
   <d:include-lastpathsegment>%.pdf</d:include-lastpathsegment>
   <d:exclude-lastpathsegment>%-2001-%.pdf</d:exclude-lastpathsegment>
   <d:include-lastpathsegment>%-2001-july.pdf</d:include-lastpathsegment>
   <d:exclude-lastpathsegment>%-1999-%.pdf</d:exclude-lastpathsegment>
</d:scope>

which would also have the benefit of conforming to the DTD fragment.
