Missing a little something after "the"

They all seem to be hyperlinks with no data.

Re: xml import/include paths
Posted by Dave Webster <da...@itouch.co.za>.
Howzit Fabian,
Thanks for the reply ... Unfortunately, we/I have a whole tree structure
of include files (much like a "C" program would), so my stylesheet(s)
will definitely include/import other stylesheets.
The referencing works fine with the Java version of Xalan on Linux;
but I'm trying to re-write the translation code in C/C++ (again on Linux)
for some speed comparisions which is where the bug came about for me.
Anyways, thanks again, and if anyone has any further insights, they would
be appreciated.
-d.w.
:-)

Re: xml import/include paths
Posted by Fabian Huschka <fa...@dreicsystems.de>.
Hi Dave,
I just ran into the same problem. However I figured something out.
I do include a stylesheet within my XML documents by referencing
it in regard of the root path to the XML document:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE modules SYSTEM "../dtd/modules.dtd">
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="../xsl/modules.xsl"?>
This works fine as long as I do not import/include another stylesheet
within the already referenced stylesheet.
For example the root path is somedrive:\documents\xml\
The path to the XSL documents is somedrive\documents\xml\xslt
The errormessage looks like this:
somedrive\documents\xslt\secondref.xsl - Could not find the requested document.
^^^^^^
The path is messed up - Xalan has forgotten to add the xml directory.
(By the way this bug also occures on linux and solaris)
Well I played around with it a bit and found out that in case I name the
reference to the first stylesheet on the commandline everything works
fine. I guess that this is a bug which arouses whenever you try to reference
more than two documents recursivly.

xml import/include paths
Posted by Dave Webster <da...@itouch.co.za>.
Howzit All?
Sorry if this has been discussed before, but 2 months of trolling through
the archives provided no satisfactory answers.
I'm using the SampleTransform.cpp example that comes with
Xalan 1.0 for Linux and have a foo.xsl file with the line:
<xsl:include href="file:/tmp/bar.xsl"/>
...
other stuff
...
The problem is when I apply the transformation with the sample code,
it looks for /tmp/bar.xsl under my current directory (i.e. /home/dave/tmp/
bar.xsl) instead of being an absolute path (i.e. /tmp/bar.xsl).
I'm assuming it's something to do with the way I create my
XSLTInputSource :
const XalanDOMString theXMLFileName("foo.xml");
const XalanDOMString theXSLFileName("foo.xsl");
// Our input sources...
XSLTInputSource theInputSource(c_wstr(theXMLFileName));
XSLTInputSource
theStylesheetSource(c_wstr(theXSLFileName));
But I've tried many varitions and all the constructors for XSLTInputSource
but no luck yet. Could anyone kindly tell me what combination of SystemID and
publicID I need to specify to be able to specify absoulte include/import
references in my XSL?
Thanks very much!
