Description
Query.{initial,any,final}SubString work by translating the string into a Query.match pattern.  For example, Query.initialSubString(a, Query.value("x")) is equivalent to Query.match(a, Query.value("x*")).  The problem arises if "x" is a string that already contains wildcards.  This string should be a literal match, but the implementation will interpret the wildcards as such.
Comments
SUGGESTED FIX Escape any magic characters in the string before giving it to Query.match.

EVALUATION Fairly straightforward to fix, but apparently nobody has ever run into this problem in the years that it has been present in the JMX RI so it may not be included in Tiger. ###@###.### 2004-02-10
