Hi Jakob,
I have this helper function for that purpose. It uses the
xdmp:modules-root that Mike suggests as basis, and don't some other little
trick to complete it:
declare function tw:get-modules-path($path) {
fn:resolve-uri($path,
fn:resolve-uri(fn:substring-after(fn:replace(xdmp:get-request-path(),
'qconsole/endpoints/', ''), "/"), xdmp:modules-root()))
};
I resolve against the request-path so that the relative paths are resolved
against the path of the current xqy. Note: this only works when the xqy is
executed through http. Spawned and run through xdbc won't work,
get-request-path returns empty in those cases.
The replace for 'qconsole/endpoints/' is a little trick to make the code
work as-is from within Query Console too..
Kind regards,
Geert
