Saxon

A test of ours contained some code that used fn:collection with a relative URI inside of try-catch. This now results in a NullPointerException.

I understand that a relative URI now requires a base URI to be set, but apparently the corresponding error message fails to pass through catch processing.

This can be reproduced from command line by

java net.sf.saxon.Query -qs:"try {collection('x/y?select=z.xml')} catch err:FODC0002 {'caught'}"

java.lang.NullPointerException
