Interesting... The more typical way is to write a custom URIResolver() that deals with requests from document() and xsl:import/xsl:include.
http://access1.sun.com/technotes/00762.html You can set it on either the TransformerFactory or on the Transformer. It will intercept the calls and allow you to re-route them or pass back whatever you want really. (Ive read that for the document() function it should be set on the Transformer but Ive not tested that) cheers andrew > -----Original Message----- > From: Igor Hersht [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 08 May 2003 18:14 > To: Christine Li > Cc: Chavdar Stefanov; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Relative URI resolving with document() function > > > For documentation on document you can see > http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#document > > About your specific problem.
