Hi, Other ways is to use the xinclude transformer (you can generate dynamically the xincludes), or use the XSLT document function. I have tried these methods, and all of them work ok.

We have a documentation application that combines documents from multiple sources. Eg we have a primary, high level description document that can reference any number of subordinate process description documents. Each of these process descriptions can reference any number of module level description documents which themselves can reference step level documents. We throw the whole lot together using cinclude. Our relevent sitemap chunk looks like this: <map:when test="pdf"> <map:generate type="file" src="webdav://localhost:8080/slide/files/xml/{request-param:fileName}" label="src"/> <map:transform src="xsl/cinclude_identity_featureLink.xsl" label="cinc1" /> <map:transform type="cinclude"/> <map:transform src="xsl/cinclude_identity_featureLink.xsl" label="cinc2" /> <map:transform type="cinclude"/> <map:transform src="xsl/cinclude_identity_featureLink.xsl" label="cinc3" /> <map:transform type="cinclude"/> <map:transform src="xsl/modManualFO.xsl" label="fop"/> <!-- This stylesheet makes image URLs absolute, so that FOP can display images. {realpath:/} returns the absolute path of the context root.--> <map:transform src="xsl/fix-imagelinks.xsl" label="debug2"> <map:parameter name="ctxroot" value="{realpath:/}"/> <map:parameter name="dir" value="/civica_help/images/"/> </map:transform> <map:serialize type="fo2pdf"/> </map:when> You'll note there's a cinclude level for subordinate level of documentation. Works like a charm! Hope this helps. Tony David Swearingen wrote: > (Subject line of my post may be misleading.)
