An XPath value of type xs:anyURI.
This is implemented as a subtype of StringValue even though xs:anyURI is not a subtype of xs:string in the XPath type hierarchy. This enables type promotion from URI to String to happen automatically in most cases where it is appropriate.
This implementation of xs:anyURI allows any string to be contained in the value space. It is possible to validate that the string is a "valid URI" in the sense of XML Schema Part 2 (which refers to the XLink specification and to RFC 2396); however, this validation is optional, and is not carried out by default. In particular, there is no constraint that namespace URIs, collation URIs, and the like should be valid URIs. However, casting from strings to xs:anyURI does invoke validation.

Check whether a string consititutes a valid URI -
convertPrimitive
public AtomicValue convertPrimitive(BuiltInAtomicType requiredType, boolean validate, XPathContext context) Convert to target data type- Overrides:
convertPrimitive
in classStringValue
- Parameters:
requiredType
- integer code representing the item type requiredvalidate
- true if validation is required. If set to false, the caller guarantees that the value is valid for the target data type, and that further validation is therefore not required. Note that a validation failure may be reported even if validation was not requested.context
-- Returns:
- the result of the conversion, or an ErrorValue
-
getItemType
Return the type of the expression- Specified by:
getItemType
in interfaceExpression
- Overrides:
getItemType
in classStringValue
- Parameters:
th
-- Returns:
- Type.ANY_URI_TYPE (always)
-
equals
Determine if two AnyURIValues are equal, according to XML Schema rules. (This method is not used for XPath comparisons, which are always under the control of a collation.)- Overrides:
equals
in classStringValue
- Throws:
ClassCastException
- if the values are not comparable
-
convertToJava
Convert to Java object (for passing to external functions)- Overrides:
convertToJava
in classStringValue
- Parameters:
target
- the Java class to which conversion is required- Returns:
- the result of the conversion
- Throws:
XPathException
- if conversion to this target type is not possible
