Relative URI resolving with document() function 2003-05-08 - By Igor Hersht
For documentation on document you can see
http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#document
About your specific problem. As far as I understand you would like
to have your URL to be relative to your input xml file.
You can do it when you call document() with 2 arguments e.g.
<xsl:value-of select="document('dir2/t2.xml',document
('dir1/t1.xml'))/doc/tt"/>
One can see 'dir2/t2.xml' would use Base URI from 'dir1/t1.xml'
('dir2/t2.xml' is relative to dir1).

Hi, Chavdar
for document($stringval), if $stringval is a absolute URI, the URI
reference is returned. If the $stringval is a relative URI, the base URI of
the node in the stylesheet that contains the expression that includes the
call to the document function is used.
In your case, document("/dir3/dir4/source2.xml") uses a relative URI, so it
tries to use base URI from the calling stylesheet. The same as if calling
document("http://myserver.net/dir1/dir2/source2.xml").

Hi all,
I have the following problem.
Let's say that I have the stylesheet "main.xsl" which includes the
stylesheet "secondary.xsl".
These stylesheets are located at base URL "http://myserver.net/dir1/dir2/".
I am transforming an XML "source1.xml" into HTML which is located at base
URL "http://myserver.net/dir3/dir4/".
The stylesheet secondary.xsl is using the document() function to import
another XML "source2.xml" for querying which have the same base URL
location
as "source1.xml".
Now comes the problem.
If I use a relative URL the "source2.xml" is not imported and if I use
absolute URL it works fine. But I need to use server relative URL.
How Xalan resolves relative URIs with teh document() function and is this a
bug or I am doing wrongly.
Here is a code snippet of how I am using the document() functioin:
...
<xsl:variable name="link_doc_xml">
<xsl:value-of select="concat('/dir3/dir4/', 'source2.xml')"/>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="inc_xml_root" select="document($link_doc_xml)"/>
...
I'am using Xalan 2.4.0 with Xerces 2.1.0
Thanks
