Hi folks, I just found how to make my problem go away... I had had the gem sitemap configured to match the URI "*/*/framework/" and thus dispatch my framework.xsl stylesheet. Now I changed that to "*/*/framework", i.e. removed the trailing "/", and now it works (the document() function is finding the XML file ../resources/gem-data.xml).
Weird! I'm still trying to figure out what that means. Any pointers? Does it mean Xalan is a nonconformant XSL processor? Or would someone claim it's correct for the document() function to base its URI on the request URI??
