>"Viktor Lioutyi" <Viktor_Lioutyi@i2.com> on 11/26/99 04:42:14 PM Viktor - for questions about DASL you should write to www-webdav-dasl@w3.org I am cc'ing that list with my answers to your questions. >2) Can I get part of the whole link back as result of a DASL query? Yes. The result of a DASL query is a set of property values, it is just as if you did a PROPFIND on the resources that the query selects. But maybe that is not what you meant to ask. if you meant, "Can I write a query that selects all resources that have a link that is of certain type and whose destination is a certain URL" the answer is no not in the current DASL. DASL only allows queries that compare properties to constant string values, it does not provide a way to compare a portion of the XML value of a property. It does support a pattern match operator, similar to the LIKE operator of SQL. This is not as powerful as a regular expression though. thanks for your interest. for other email on dasl please use the dasl email list Jim
