Hi,

When trying to operate the xqeury function as shown in the tutorial (http://localhost:1060/book/developerreference/doc_ura_xquery)
I get the following error:

net.sf.saxon.trans.StaticError
XQuery static error in #....lear.xml") return ;#: Cannot use the document() function in a non-XSLT context

Yes, there an error in the example on that page. The document() function is a XSLT2 specific wrapper around the general XPath2 doc() function, see

http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20/#document

XQuery doesn't have a special wrapper function, but you just use the doc() function:

http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-functions/#func-doc

So the example on

http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-functions/#func-doc

should be

<xquery>  let $operand := doc("ffcpl:/lear.xml")/PLAY/ACT[1]/SCENE[1] return &lt;SPEECHES&gt; {$operand//SPEECH[SPEAKER='GLOUCESTER']} &lt;/SPEECHES&gt; </xquery>

Hope this helps,

Menzo

Oops, copy and paste error :-( Of course that should've been the example on
