Hello
I have no knowledge of XSLT-generated XHTML pages, but I make extensive use
of the header 'BASE' tag and my CSS files always come through, so you may
want to consider that option.
<html>
<head>
...
<base href="https://www.my-domain-name.com/my-web-app-name/";>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="asset/css/my.css">
...
</head>
<body>
...
Notice the trailing forward-slash in the BASE tag hyperlink reference. This
means that all other hyperlink references are stated as being relative to
that, and must NOT start with a leading forward-slash.
I specify the BASE tag using a custom tag that retrieves the base hyperlink
value from a context initialisation parameter (specified in the deployment
descriptor).
Using the BASE means that *all* my URL references are relative - and it has
not let me down yet.
Good luck!
