Hi Fraser,
Yes, the doment should be on the file system, but is is possible to call a
java or php file and let the file output the xml as a string. I had a same
problem and found that this worked nicely.
greetings

Subject: [xsl] document() source
I have a need to process 2 XML instances in a single piece of XSLT (I'm
doing some x doc validation).
I see that in XSLT I can use the document() function BUT it APPEARS that
it
must retrieve the XML from the file system or a resolvable URI ??
In my case the second instance doc is already 'in memory' (having been
retrieved from a database) so I really just want to pass the XML itself as
a
string.
Also, because the production environment in which the solution will be
deployed is (naturally) constrained, getting access to the file system to
create a temporary file is unlikely to be possible (plus performance could
be an issue for some of the quite large XML docs we use).
Does anyone know whether this is possible using XSLT, or will I need to
look
at a programmatic (ie. Java) implementation alternative :-(
Fraser.
