No, it is for any parameter. Function mapping only occurs for singleton parameters, so if you want it not to happen and it is OK for your function to take the empty sequence, then type it as a ? (for example, as xs:string?) instead of as a singleton. Then the empty sequence is a valid parameter to the function and function mapping will not happen.

So, when other parameters in the same call aren't the empty sequence, could it be considered a bug that the entire function isn't called?

Here is what the documentation says to try and explain this (from the "MarkLogic Server Enhanced XQuery Language" chapter of the XQuery Reference Guide): One consequence of function mapping, which can be surprising the first time you see it, is that if the value passed for a parameter is the empty sequence, it could result in the function being called 0 times (that is, in the function never runs and results in the empty sequence. For example, if you entered the empty sequence as the parameter to the above function call, it returns empty, as follows: xquery version "1.0-ml"; declare function local:print-word ($word as xs:string) { $word }; local:print-word( () ) (: evaluates the print-word function zero times, resulting in the empty sequence :) The local:print-word function is never called in this case, because it is iterating over the empty sequence, which causes zero invocations of the function. If your function calls are fed by code that can return the empty sequence (an XPath expression, for example), then you might see this behavior. -Danny From: general-boun...@developer.marklogic.com<mailto:general-boun...@developer.marklogic.com> [mailto:general-boun...@developer.marklogic.com<mailto:general-boun...@developer.marklogic.com>] On Behalf Of spig Sent: Friday, April 02, 2010 2:19 PM To: General Mark Logic Developer Discussion Subject: Re: [MarkLogic Dev General] Unexpected behavior Yes, with xdmp:mapping set to "false" it does throw an expected coercion error. So, how come? I was under the impression that xdmp:mapping applies the function's logic to each parameter. Does xdmp:mapping also not call functions under certain circumstances? Is there someone who can help explain this functionality or a document I can read? Steve So, can someone explain, or point me to a document where xdmp:mapping is explained?
