<faqs title='Using XInclude'>
<faq title="Usage">
<q>How do I enable XInclude processing?</q>
<a>
<p>
The simplest way to enable XInclude processing is to use a
<code>org.apache.xerces.parsers.XIncludeParserConfiguration</code> as your
parser configuration. This configuration includes a DTD validator, a namespace
binder, and a Schema validator, in addition to a handler for XInclude. See
<link idref="faq-xni" anchor="override-default-config">this FAQ</link> for
instructions about how to change your parser configuration.
</p>
<p>
If <code>XIncludeParserConfiguration</code> doesn't meet your needs, then you'll
have to write your own parser configuration. Make sure that this configuration
includes a <code>org.apache.xerces.xinclude.XIncludeHandler</code>, and that the
property "http://apache.org/xml/properties/internal/namespace-context" is an instance of
<code>org.apache.xerces.xinclude.XIncludeNamespaceSupport</code>. It is strongly
recommended that the <code>XIncludeHandler</code> be placed in the pipeline
before the Schema validator, if there is one. PSVI information cannot be
guaranteed to be valid after XInclude processing.
</p>

</faq>
<faq title="xml:base attributes and XML Schema validation">
<q>Why are <code>xml:base</code> attributes added, which make Schema validation fail?</q>
<a>
<p>
According to the specification for XInclude, processors must add an <code>xml:base</code>
attribute to elements included from locations with a different base URI. Without
these attributes, the resulting infoset information would be incorrect. Unfortunatly,
these attributes make XInclude processing not transparent to Schema validation.
</p>
<p>
The solution to this is to modify your schema to allow <code>xml:base</code>
attributes to appear on elements that might be included from different base URIs.
If this solution is really unappealing to you, voice your concerns on the
xerces-j-user mailing list.

<faq title="Document Fragments">
<q>Why doesn't including document fragments work?</q>
<a>
<p>
Currently, our implementation of XInclude is not fully complete, and we do
not support <jump href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xinclude/">XPointer</jump>
references. We hope that in the future we will have a
fully compliant XInclude processor that can handle this feature.
</p>
</a>
</faq>
<faq title="XML Base Support">
<q>Why doesn't Xerces recognize xml:base attributes?</q>
<a>
<p>
The XInclude specification requires processors to use the base URI
(as specified in the <jump href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlbase/">XML Base</jump>
recommendation) to resolve relative IURIs to compute the
<jump href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xinclude#include-location">include location</jump>.
Currently, our implementation of XInclude is not fully complete, and we do
not support the XML Base recommendation. We hope that in the future we
will have a fully compliant XInclude processor that can handle this feature.
