I’m trying to run an XSLT transform that works from the file system to work when run from BaseX, where the input is a document in a database.
The transform needs to resolve URI references from the input source to their targets in the same database. It looks like using base-uri() in XSLT returns a file:/ URL: ["+ [DEBUG] resolveTopicRef(): base-uri($context)="file:///utah/bundle-devops-enterprise-dev-ops.ditamap""] ["+ [DEBUG] df:resolveTopicRef(): context is a topicref."] ["+ [DEBUG] df:resolveTopicRef(): href=""now-keys-common.ditamap"""] ["+ [DEBUG] df:resolveTopicRef(): topicUri is a string, trying to resolve..."] ["+ [DEBUG] $context = ", <mapref href="now-keys-common.ditamap"/>] ["+ [DEBUG] baseuri(context) = file:///utah/bundle-devops-enterprise-dev-ops.ditamap"] ["+ [DEBUG] df:resolveTopicRef(): document at uri ""file:/utah/now-keys-common.ditamap"" is not available, returning empty list"] (This is the output of xslt:transform-report()?messages, which is very nice BTW) So my question is: Is it possible, short of using the BaseX REST API, to have a Saxon-run XSLT access docs from a database? I can easily set the @xml:base attribute on the input document before passing it to Saxon if there was some base URI that would then resolve from the database. I didn’t see anything relevant in the documentation for the XSLT module. In this case the transform is doing DITA map resolution, creating a single result document from a tree of DITA maps by resolving <mapref> elements to their referenced maps and replacing the reference with the referenced element. I haven’t figured out an efficient way to do this directly in XQuery, so I thought I’d apply my existing XSLT transform, but this seems to be a blocker. I’m sure it would work to use the BaseX REST API to access the docs from the XSLT, but that of course requires having a running server and HTTP handler. I was hoping this would just work.
