Subject: [docbook-apps] xml:base problem with nested XIncludes
Hi
A problem with nested XIncludes that I raised in 2005 has either not
been resolved, or has risen again in DB5 and 1.75.1. The problem is in
the value of xml:base which results in the generation of bad paths to
files referenced in a nested XInclude. A sample program to demonstrate
the problem is below, and the separate files are attached. XEP reports
the bad paths - see below - but fop just fails to produce any diagnostic
output. A work around is to pre-process the XIncludes and appropriate
xsl code is in the file copy.xsl
root0.xml XIncludes root1.xml which XIncludes file0.xml which references
a jpg file in a <figure>. The file cannot be found because the xml:base
is wrongly applied.
Tool chain Oxygen 10.3, DB5, XSL 1.75.1, Saxon-6.5.5 and
XEP-4.10-20070727.

---XEP failure report
---The image file referred to in file0.xml cannot be found.
---Nested Xinclude problem - XEP gives the bad filename

If the nested Xincludes are expanded first using the following XSL, then
the nested problem is avoided and all is well, the image file is found
and displayed
