Document function bug... Urgent!!!

[Didier Villevalois <dv...@sqli.com>]

Hello,

I'm still trying to understand why the document() function does not
work correctly. I told you that bug since cocoon 1.4 but it seems
nobody took attention.

And i now think it comes from cocoon's liaison between Xerces and
Xalan.

I think you don't feed it with the correct path of the source file
when running through the cocoon pipe. This makes the
parserLiaison.findUriFromDoc
returning a wrong path and the document() function to fail when used
with a second argument being a node from this source file.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,
I've also observed this behavior and reduced myself to using absolute URIs,
I believe there is a bug there.

In practice, the relative URI is relative to the stylesheet for finding the file.

Just use document('toto.xml') and it will insert at the current location.
Just make sure you surround with <xsl:copy> tag.
