Importing Stylesheets when the importing stylesheet has been loaded from a JAR

[John Francis <jf...@his.co.uk>]

 I wish to release the stylesheet files I use in a jar with the server that
uses them.
 I can load the primary stylesheet using the standard class loader
"InputStream inStr = getClass().getResourceAsStream(primaryXSLFilename)".
However this imports some stylesheets which I wish to maintain separately,
but should be loaded from the same "directory" in the jar file.
 Is there some way of telling xalan to use the class loader rather than the
file system to load files ?

 Thanks, and thanks for xalan,xerces,ant etc... in the first place.

If you open using an InputStream, the location information is lost so any 
xsl:import or xsl:include can't know where to look.

Is I understand it, you should be able to specify

         XSLTInputSource("jar:<url>!/{entry}")

and then any imported stylesheets would be relative to that.   However, 
this appears to be broken (in Xalan 1 at least) and you have to specify a 
full URL :-(
