Mapping Xindice addresses to URLs/Document paths?

[Lyndon J B Nixon <ni...@fokus.gmd.de>]

hi all,

I'm wanting to integrate query results from Xindice with stylesheets for 
presentation, however as the stylesheet input
is only optionally from a database query I do want to separate the 
querying process from the transformation.

I want to present results in a form like 'The value X was found in the 
document with title Y'
However I find that in the Xindice results I can only retrieve document 
information in the form of the xindice
collection name and document key e.g. xmldb:xindice:///db/mydocs   
src:key="doc23.xml"
If I want to use the XSLT (rather than the Java code doing the query) to 
manipulate these results, I need to access
the document(s) from which the results are coming, but in the stylesheet 
I then need a full URL or document path.

I thought in Java I could map the xindice address to an URL which is 
included in the query result but it seems impossible within the 
XMLDB:API or JAXP. There is any way to do this?

Lyndon,

I feel your problem statement was unclear.  It seems that what you want 
to do is straight forward, how about giving us a sample with the input 
and the output, maybe then I can be of more help.

Is this in xslt only?
How is the input obtained? Resource or ResourceSet, or command line???

I didn't get any responses last time so this is a second attempt.

How can I ascertain (within the XMLDB/XIndice API) the full path of the 
documents which returned results from
a query?

Is there any other way than using full paths as the value of the 
document key in the collection?
