True. We ended up pulling a full path from config file and had the XSL pull
from a known place on the filesystem. You're right... not ideal! Untidy
deployment.
You could (I imagine) make a URL resolver that will work from the classpath.
Say it could resolve "classpath://blah/foo". Would that help? Are URL
resolvers created by a factory somewhere? Is there a xalan resolver... I bet
there is somewhere.
