    Comment:
Looking at this issue again, I have realised that 

a) A patch is required ElementImpl.java as well

b) My original patch would have NPEd in some circumstances when baseURIs were invalid.

        Key: XERCESJ-926
    Summary: xml:base resolution doesn't recurse correctly for relative URIs
       Type: Bug

     Status: Open

    Project: Xerces2-J
 Components: 
             DOM
   Versions:
             2.6.2

   Assignee: Xerces-J Developers Mailing List
   Reporter: Lucian Holland

    Created: Wed, 24 Mar 2004 6:33 PM
    Updated: Tue, 4 May 2004 10:15 AM
Environment: Operating System: All
Platform: All

Description:
When calling getBaseURI on an element which has a relative URI specified for its
xml:base attribute, null is returned. This is because xerces tries to construct
a URI object with the contents of the attribute alone, which (rightly) throws a
MalformedURIException. 

The xml:base section on resolving relative URIs[1] doesn't make this as explicit
as it might, but it is clear from an earlier example in the spec[2] that
relative URIs for xml:base should be taken as relative to any base URI that is
already "in scope" at that point in the document.
