Re: [xsl] Behavior of document() Function with Empty String

2006-12-18 08:45:28
In a particular project of us, all stylesheets from a
stylesheet library are located in a certain directory
structure, deeper nested than the input/output sources
location. To get easy access to the paths of input/output
and for all stylesheets to "see" the same directory 
structure, all those stylesheets have an xml:base
instruction of "../..". This has the (uncanny) side benefit
of effectively disabling the call to document('').

My project involves a Java web application and a Java 5.0 application that
share the same directory structure.  Unfortunately, the parser in the web
application interprets the document() function differently than the parser
in the standalone application.  I suppose the base paths are different.
Unfortunately, in neither case does document('') refer to the stylesheet
that makes the call.

I can't figure out how to work around this problem without hardcoding
absolute paths or having two sets of stylesheets with different relative
paths.
