Thank you, but in the docs you indicated there is no reference to base-dir
parameters.
Is it possible to specify it in Options?

I've looked in the code and in AbstractFopImage I have:
            this.m_imageReader =
                ImageReaderFactory.Make(this.m_href.toExternalForm(),
                                        this.m_href.openStream());

Then I looked in FopImageFactory and found:
            // maybe relative
            URL context_url = null;
            String base = Configuration.getStringValue("baseDir");
            if(base == null) {
                throw new FopImageException("Error with image URL: "
                                             + e.getMessage()
                                             + " and no base directory is
specified");
            }
            try {
                absoluteURL = new
URL(Configuration.getStringValue("baseDir")
                                      + absoluteURL.getFile());
            } catch (MalformedURLException e_context) {
                // pb context url
                throw new FopImageException("Invalid Image URL - error on
relative URL : "
                                            + e_context.getMessage());
            }

In the code of the Ant task I found:

   org.apache.fop.configuration.Configuration.put("baseDir",
       task.getFofile().getParentFile().toURL().toExternalForm());

Configuration is static :-O
Should I use Configuration?
