Description Andrew Eisenberg 2009-06-23 20:16:42 UTC
tryCatchExpr is defined as follows:

[169]    TryCatchExpr     ::=    TryClause CatchClause+
[170]    TryClause        ::=    "try" "{" TryTargetExpr "}"
[171]    TryTargetExpr    ::=    Expr
[172]    CatchClause      ::=    "catch" CatchErrorList CatchVars? "{" Expr "}"
[173]    CatchErrorList   ::=    NameTest ("|" NameTest)*

We also say:

[102]    NameTest         ::=    QName | Wildcard

This allows expressions such as:

try {1} catch * {2}


In XQueryX 1.1 we see:

<!-- CatchErrorList (part of the TryCatchExpression)     -->
<!-- Corresponds to the following XQuery syntax          -->
<!-- CatchErrorList ::=                                  -->
<!--       NameTest ( "|" NameTest )*                    -->

  <xsd:complexType name="catchErrorList">
    <xsd:sequence>
      <xsd:element ref="nameTest" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
    </xsd:sequence>
  </xsd:complexType>

  <xsd:element name="catchErrorList" type="catchErrorList"/>

We also see:

  <xsd:element name="nameTest" type="QName"/>


I don't believe that we can represent the query above in XQueryX 1.1. xqx:catchErrorList needs to be able to contain xqx:Wildcard.

Good catch!  Thanks for finding this.  I have modified both the XQueryX 1.1 schema and the corresponding stylesheet to support wildcards in addition to QNames within the errlist.  As a result, I'm marking this bug RESOLVED/FIXED.  If you agree with the solution (which you can find in member CVS at the usual place), please mark the bug CLOSED.
