[jira] Commented: (MPXDOC-179) Can't use relative links for external entities

Paul Libbrecht commented on MPXDOC-179:
---------------------------------------

It surprises me to be considered closed.

I could drill this down to the issue 
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=116035&aid=681658&group_id=16035
of dom4j.
a fix for which was made in 2003 and stipulates that when a java.io.File object is passed to SAXReader.read() an input-stream is passed... hence no relative resolution can be done.

This affects jelly's x:parse tag as well.
The current "escape" is that when you know you have a file (and it does not contain a "#" sign!) you call it's toURL() method.
(in turn this is a bug in java's File.toURL() which should convert a # sign in the toURL method).

> Actually we can't use a relative path in xdocs to declare external entities
> For exemple in plugins\trunk\xdoc\xdocs\reference\xdocs.xml we reference escapeXml.xml like this with an absolute path from where maven is generally called (in the xdoc plugin root directory) 
> <!DOCTYPE document [
>   <!ENTITY escapeXmlExample SYSTEM "file:xdocs/reference/escapeXml.xml">

> Thus if we use a multiproject the site fails. For example :
> plugins\trunk>maven -Dgoal=site -Dmaven.multiproject.includes=xdoc/project.xml multiproject:goal
> gives :
