How is resolveRef working?

[OliverFischer]

Hi,
i have some problems to understand the functionality behind resolveRef in references.js. My simple schema looks like

{
        "description": "A victim schema for our test referencing schemas from json-schema.",
        "definitions": {
            "refOne": {
                "type": "object",
                "properties": {
                    "propertyOne": {
                        "type": "string"
                    },
                    "propertyTwo": {
                        "type": "string"
                    }
                }
            }
        },
        "type": "object",
        "properties": {
            "entityRefOne": {
                "$ref": "#/definitions/refOne"
            }
        }
    }

The code recognizes the ref in the object and tries to resolve the reference by inspecting the root schema node:

for (i = 0; i < loc.length; i = i + 1) {
        if (loc[i] === '') {
            //noinspection JSLint
            continue;
        }
        st = st[loc[i]];
        if (st === undefined) {
            throw new Error("Cannot find ref '" + ref + "' in schema");
        }
    }

After this is done, i have a strange result property .entityRefOne[propertyOne] and cannot access the originale value in a selector like ['$ref=*']. Is this the desired behaviour?

Any help is appreciated, btw. cool project!
