RE: Prob. referring XSL over URI (Pls. consider this out of conte xt p ost)

["Hanlan, Dominic - Senior Developer" <dh...@icc.co.uk>]

I have the smae set up. I include the XSL in my application deployment and
they are then available via my web server, i.e.
http://mysite/mywebroot/xsl/stylesheet.xsl
This makes the URI independent of the actual deployment directory. It is
mapped by the deployment desciptor for my web root.

Thanks for the response. I understand that part of passing any URL, but my
problem is, when I deploy the application, the XSLs get deployed under the
httpRoot, and I want to read them without any specific reference to the
deployment area(i.e. webserver, filesystem, etc.). My servlet is reading XSL
filename (/x/y/z.xsl) from a file, but it don't know in advance where it
will be deployed. I hope it's clear this time.

Thanks again,
Sumanta Dutta

I suppose you are implementing a servlet. If you create
the transformer yourself, you can pass any URL to the
StreamSource for the XSL, including HTTP URLs. How you
determine the URL is a matter of your servlet. I don't
understand this part of the problem, usually servlets
read XSL from files instead from HTTP requests. You'll
have to supply some more details.
