Module

The toURI accessor is exported by the urn:org:ten60:netkernel:ext:xml:ura module. Import this module to gain access to the accessor.

Syntax

URI

active:toURI

Argument	Rules	Description
operand	Mandatory	a URI

Example Usage

DPML

<instr>
  <type>toURI</type>
  <operand>this:param:myargument</operand>
  <target>var:uri</target>
</instr>

NetKernel Foundation API

req=context.createSubRequest("active:toURI");
req.addArgument("operand", [resource representation, aspect, or URI] );
result=context.issueSubRequest(req);

Purpose

The toURI accessor returns a canonical URI for the given operand URI.

Example

In DPML it can be used to obtain the URI value of a parameter argument. For example if a DPML script receives an active URI argument: myargument@ffcpl:/path/resource, then the DPML script shown above will return the following for var:uri...

<uri>ffcpl:/path/resource</uri>
