RE: EntityResolver not allowed to do enough

[David N Bertoni/Cambridge/IBM]

Let's be very careful not to give advice for Xalan-J for people who are
using Xalan-C.

There was a patch from a user to let the installed EntityResolver have a go
at any URLs given to the document() function.  I applied this patch, but
I'm not sure if the provider ever verified it.

Brian, can you provide a minimal set of input files (stylesheet, source
documents, source code) that illustrates the problem?  That way, I can take
a look at it and see what's going on.

It is an XSL thing. You set it on the TransformerFactory.

But document() does not use an EntityResolver. The error is because you are
sending what looks like a protocol (':') for the default resolver to
handle.
