RE: question regarding setting anyURI from java

Hi Michael,

Although the snippet was showing a xquery, the very question itself was not so
much xquery related.  I would rather say it was related to Xpath functions.

I could have asked the same question in another format and the answer would
have been the same:

<xsl:param name="uri" as="xs:anyURI"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
  <xsl:copy-of select="doc($uri)/Content"/>
</xsl:template>


For which it would have been easier to do

<xsl:param name="uri" as="xs:string"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
  <xsl:copy-of select=" doc(xs:anyURI($uri))/Content"/>
</xsl:template>


Bottom line..  The example might be inapprioriate but I may assume that
questions related Xpath functions (http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-functions/) are
welcome to this list as well?

This is XQuery, so it's off-topic for this list. Ask again on talk @
x-query.com, or on StackOverflow - and tell us which XQuery product you
are using, and what calls you are making on the XQJ API.
