[xquery-talk] The value does not conform to the lexical constraints defined for the xs:anyURI type

[Robby Pelssers]

Hi all,


I tested following Xquery with Sedna and Zorba:

declare function local:getPipUri($id as xs:string) as xs:anyURI {
   xs:anyURI(concat("http://www.nxp.com/pip/", $id))
};

local:getPipUri("CX24483 14LZ")


Sedna throws an exception:
2012/12/19 10:07:09 database query/update failed (SEDNA Message: ERROR FORG0001
Invalid value for cast/constructor. 
Details: The value does not conform to the lexical constraints defined for the xs:anyURI type.
Query line: 6, column:4
)


http://www.zorba-xquery.com/html/demo happy returns "http://www.nxp.com/pip/CX24483 14LZ"

So how does the xs:anyURI cast work? Is the developer supposed to encode the String before passing it to xs:anyURI or is the anyURI function supposed to do this?

Thx in advance,
Robby
