newbie question.. loader parsing error: Blank needed here

[Bill Standke]

<C:\Users\bill.standke\workspace\zorba test\test2.xq>:3,2: dynamic error [err:FODC0002]: loader parsing error: Blank needed here

 

(: XQuery main module :)
for $v in
 doc("file:///C:/Users/bill.standke/Documents/BI116-obi5td-2012-11-15-1800.xml")//UDML/BusinessCatalog/LogicalTableIDList/LogicalTableID
  return
        $v/text()

Your query runs fine when I cut and paste it to a file locally (I obviously had to modify the file:/// URI and create my own .xml file for input). The error message is actually an error parsing your .xml file. We should probably improve the error message to make this more clear. I filed https://bugs.launchpad.net/zorba/+bug/1095889 to track this issue.

After a little Googling, it seems like the message "blank needed here" it thrown by libxml2 (our XML parser) when the XML version declaration is broken. For instance, I was able to get that error by putting the following in my input.xml :

<?xml version="1.0">

<hello><bar>foo</bar></hello>

...note the missing question mark at the end of <?xml version="1.0">. There may be other ways to get that error too. If you have xmllint installed, run it on your .xml file and it will point right at the problem.

I looked at my source xml which is generated by an Oracle tool it looks ok to me?

<?xml version="1.0"encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<UDML>
<BusinessCatalog>

zorba 2.7.0 using eclipse running on win7

I see it now theres a space missing between the "e .  I must have messed it up when I was removing some invalid charaters.

 

Thanks

The confusing part for me was that it appeared that something was wrong with my query not the document i was processing??

 

Thanks

Yep, that's why I filed that bug about the message. It could be clearer.
