triggers: after-create-document event does not fire when a document is created as a result of another trigger

[mbreeb]

Suppose there is a trigger on collection A set by a collection.xconf. Adding a file to collection A triggers an XQuery which reads the file and creates new files Q1; Q2; etc. in collection B. The XQuery uses the xmldb:store function to create these files.

As collection B is a sibling from collection A, there is a different collection.xconf on B. This one sets a after-document-create event which should execute an XQuery.

The issue is that the trigger on collection B only works when I manually add a file to collection B. This trigger does not respond to trigger A writing an XML file with xmldb:store into collection B. I think it should not matter whether the file was created through webdav or through xmldb:store.

Can you give database backup with prepared environment for tests?

Backup of the database can be found here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/19axqdtqphgqo3e/full20140608-2324.zip

Files necessary are:
A
/Volumes/db/system/config/db/OEP/repository/collection.xconf update triggers /db/OEP/code/process_updated_manifest.xql
which writes to /db/OEP/jobs

B
/Volumes/db/system/config/db/OEP/jobs/collection.xconf create triggers
/db/OEP/code/process_new_job.xql

B trigger does not run when A writes XML into /db/OEP/jobs

I am experiencing this as well in 2.2 RTM.
