#820 XPath expressions that returns URIs fails in 9.0.9.3

[Ignacio Hernandez-Ros]

I’ve noticed that the following XPath expression raises an unexpected error in 9.0.9.3 (not in previous versions)

List<string> lst = (List<string>)xp.evaluate("for $i in testcases/testcase return resolve-uri($i/@uri,base-uri($i))",xbrl,XPathConstants.NODESET);</string></string>

net.sf.saxon.trans.XPathException: The anyURI value '"file:/C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Ignacio/workspace/conformance/Common/instance/301-idScope.xml"' is not an acceptable Java URI

The URI file:/C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Ignacio/workspace/conformance/Common/instance/301-idScope.xml Is the result of the evaluation of the expression so this error looks like it is related to changes in the conversion from the output of the expression to the creation of the returned List of values.

I'm marking this entry as closed, on the basis that I'm not actually using this tracker to track bugs in 9.0.9.3. As always, the preferred place to register suspected bugs is via the saxon-help mailing list or forum; I prefer to use this tracker as a register of confirmed bugs.
