Base URI for org.apache.xalan.xslt.extensions.Redirect
I was slightly surprised to discover that the base URI for the Redirect
extension is the stylesheet that contains the template performing the
redirect. I expected it to be the base URI of the source document.
I'm not sure that the answer I was expecting is any more or less right,
but since I need the result to be relative to the location of the source
document, what should I do?

Fair 'nough. Thanks, Gary.

The command line versions that use -out will use that to create the
Result argument. If you leave off the -out argument, the command line
version will write the output to System.out. Therefore, Redirect will
use the source URI, if available, or the current working directory, if
not.

And what will that be if I run Xalan from the command line?

We'll take that from the systemID of the Result argument supplied to the
transform call.

That'll probably work, but how are you going to do that? What's the base
URI of the result tree before it's serialized?

Just a correction on this. Our fix is to make things relative to the
base URI of the result document, not the source document. Will that
work for you?

I'm just running a Xalan transformation from the command line, nothing
fancy.

Hi, Norm --
This is on our list of things to fix. How are you invoking the
transform? In other words, are you doing it from the command line or
calling the Transformer.transform method or something else? If it's
something else, please let us know.
