constructor StreamSource(File f) sets incorrect system id for windows platform





------- Additional Comments From j_a_fernandez@yahoo.com  2002-07-15 14:26 -------
I am having problems on Linux related to this issue.

In the following code:
   File f = new File("/a/b/c.xsl");
   Source s = StreamSource(f);
   String id = s.getSystemId();

id == "file:////a/b/c.xsl" which is quite wrong. In particular because:
f.toURL().toExternaldForm() == "file:/a/b/c.xml"

Moreover, if I do:

  s.setSystemId(f.toURL().toExternalForm());

and build the Transformer with that, I can see in my URIResolver that:

  1) files included by the stylesheet are of the form "file:/a/b/d.xsl"
  2) files imported by the stylesheet are of the form "file:////a/b/d.xsl"

I need to do some analysis of the URLs in my URIResolver and this behaviour
is breaking the whole thing and the URIResolver cannot find anything.
In Windows at least the results seem to be consistent (as far as I can see).

Is there any workaround for this?
