[xquery-talk] Parse error - please help!

[padmapriya ayyagari]

Hello,

When I try to execute the following xquery:

declare default function namespace
"http://www.w3.org/2004/10/xquery-local-functions";

declare function local:fullpath($node as node()) as xs:string
 {
	 if ($node/..) then concat(name($node), '/', local:fullpath($node/..))
	 else ""
 };

local:fullpath(fn:document("xmark.xml")//site/people/person/emailaddress)

It gives me the following error :

Exception in thread "main" galapi.GalapiException: Failure("Parsing
Error: Parse error in XQuery string [characters 8-24:]")

Similarly for the function below:

declare default function namespace
"http://www.w3.org/2004/10/xquery-local-functions";
declare function local:getmypath($e as node()) as xs:string
 {
  concat('/', string-join(for $n in ancestor-or-self::* return name($n), '/'))
};
 local:getmypath(fn:doc("xmark.xml")//site/people/person/emailaddress)
Exception in thread "main" galapi.GalapiException: Failure("Parsing
Error: Parse error in XQuery string [characters 8-24:]")

To tbe best of my knowledge, the syntax is in tune with the w3
specifications. Could someone please point out what the error might
be?

Thanks,
Padmapriya
