Hi,
I'm running Xalan 2.0.1 (with Xerces 1.3) on NT 4.0.
I'm having trouble using a stylesheet whose base path is a UNC name (we'll say \\myserver\stylesheets\sample.xsl).
Xalan accepts the stylesheet itself, but chokes on the includes:
javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: File "file:///E:/atixt///myserver/stylesheets/includes/includedfile.xsl" not found.
E:\atixt is the directory containing the xml source and html result files. The includes are specified using relative paths.
It appears that the UNC name is not recognized as an absolute path.
The same code has no problem if I use a mapped drive to specify the stylesheet (like x:\stylesheets\sample.xsl).
Is this a bug in Xerces/Xalan, or should I be doing something different? If a bug, is there a workaround that doesn't involve modifying or moving the stylesheet file, or mapping a drive?
Please reply directly, as I am no longer subscribed to the list.
Thanks, Paul Winder Arbortext
