Weird, I first wrote my response, then double checked in this same document and added the note about xs:string... I guess I was not really awake at that time :-) Thanks for the correction. > Maybe I missed something in this problem, I checked the query > with "/." at the end of the query, it returns node type, I feel > that I just cannot put this kind of function like fn:base-uri() > at the end of xpath using "/" operator. And I don't know where > I get wrong. I'm testing more and I'll keep everyone posted. I've seen your other email. Maybe I was not clear, sorry. The expression you showed returns an xs:anyURI. The error message says that an xs:anyURI item is somewhere it expects a node. Because I don't know how you evaluate the expression, and what you do with its result, I can only guess. And the most likely reasons I can think of, but I am sure there are other, are: 1/ you actually only showed part of your query and the result of this sub-expression is later used as the left-hand side operand of the operator '/': $uri/path, which is not legal; 2/ you evaluate the expression from say, Java, and you try to use the result as a node. But I can't tell from your initial message.
