Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] Display Filter Syntax for sub-dissectors

[Mike Duigou <ethereal@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The JXTA dissector will call out to sub-dissectors on the basis of 
mime-type for payload content. Most often this is the XML or SSL dissectors.

This works great for displaying the content of JXTA PDUs. I've run into 
a problem though. It seems there is no filter syntax for sub-dissection. 
I can filter down to the point where the sub-dissection begins, but not 
past that point.

If I promote the sub-dissections trees to the top of the element tree 
rather than embedding them within my protocol tree then I can filter 
successfully That doesn't really work though since the elements are 
often too numerous and not really standalone from the messages in which 
they are inclued.

Ideas?
