Thanks for the reply,
the dtDateToCompare variable works correctly when I compare to an actual document property, eg $doc.modifiedDate, so from what I can see it's assessing it correctly.

Here's the rub.
By sheer luck (and blindly trying any combination that'd make some sort of sense), it seems the actual problem is that the property should be referenced using DateProperty, not StringProperty (at least, thats what works).
Please can someone in dev confirm/deny the following query for $xwiki.search:
select obj.name
from
   BaseObject obj,
   XWikiDocument doc,
   DateProperty propnrd
where
   obj.className='XWiki.clickClass' and
   obj.name<>'XWiki.clickClassTemplate' and
   obj.name not like('%/%') and
   doc.fullName=obj.name and
   propnrd.id.id=obj.id and
   propnrd.id.name='clickDateAssig
n' and
   propnrd.value < '${dtDateToCompare}'
order by
   obj.name asc

Hi,

I don't know for sure but I suspect your problem has something to do with
date format. At the time the page is rendered '${dtDateToCompare}' gets
translated into a string (using toString if it's not already a string).
The date format used (explicitly by you or implicitly by toString) may not
match  the one used by your DB. If this is the case then I see 2
solutions:

* find out the date format used by your DB (a simple select on a table
having a date field might do) and format the dtDateToCompare
correspondingly

* replace '${dtDateToCompare}' with a parameter using ? (the JDBC syntax)
or :paramName (HQL syntax) and call the corresponding searchDocuments
method.

I hope this helps,
Marius
