This string (containing the relative file name) is fine on entry to the routine, and is still fine after tmpURL is created and after the check isRelative is performed. But in the catch for MalformedURLException the systemId appears to have turned into nonsense - before the LocalFileInputSource is created, so the filename going into getFullPath in the IRIX platform utils is nonsense, causing realpath to return NULL. If you remove the URL code from scanDocument, and only ever create a LocalFileInputSource, then everything works fine - including relative paths. Or, as I mentioned yesterday you simply transcode the systemId on entry to scanDocument everything works !?!? David.
