Eric, The files are local. I just partitioned my work's machine into a c and d. Like to separate my work and installs onto a different drive than c. I'm using ANT to control my publishing workflow and am able to define a base dir within the xslt task but rarely do. This time I did with no issues. But alas I fall back onto old habits.
The SVGs will be staying local to where ever the XSLTs sit. The XML files to be parsed will be copied locally when required. So I guess what I'm saying is that everything in the end is local. I'll try your idea when all else fails.

I have my files all on the server. I read my xsl file into memory, convert it to bytes, and pass it to the client where I do the transform. I gave up on trying to figure out the path reference to the SVG file, if it can still be a path local to the server, if it needs to be a server path from the client using a mapped drive, or if it can reference an absolute path to the server using it's machine name. The SVG is just a text file. I just copied the whole file into my XSL. It's not pretty but it's the easy answer. -----Original Message----- From: Mario Madunic [mailto:mario_madu...@newflyer.com] Sent: Thursday, March 25, 2010 9:30 AM To: fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org Subject: RE: SVG as background to page in 0.95 Pascal, I declare the image via a variable like this, <xsl:variable name="g_NumericIndexPage" select="concat('file:///', $cl_WorkDir, '/graphics/numericIndexPage.svg')" /> Which works out to file:///D:/workDirs/publish/graphics/numericIndexPage.svg.
