RE: Using Document Fragments with XInclude

[Damien Fitzpatrick]

I have been looking into this a bit more and interestingly Apache Cocoon includes an XPointer implementation which allows Cocoon to be more compliant with the standard.  Cocoon has no problems in including document fragments.  Perhaps anyone who is looking at implementing this in Xerces might find it useful to look at the Cocoon implementation.   Damien   From: Thomas Cox [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 02, 2004 12:10 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Using Document Fragments with XInclude   This is on our radar too. It's not a huge issue yet, but based on the incoming report rate, it probably will be by the first of the year. Count my vote for making this a key feature of the next release.   Thanks, Thomas   From: Damien Fitzpatrick [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 30, 2004 7:29 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Using Document Fragments with XInclude Hi there,   I currently have a set of docbook documentation that contains XIncludes which reference document fragments using XPointers.  In the past I have used Xerces as my XML parser for my XML to PDF conversion process, which uses Xalan for processing.  However, with my latest set of documentation (with the XIncludes) Xerces does not handle document fragments correctly, or at all for that matter.  I have read the FAQ and realize that this is an outstanding issue with Xerces.  My question is, does anyone know when XIncludes for document fragments will be correctly implemented in Xerces or can anyone recommend a different XML parser that I can use in the meantime?   Thanks in advance, Damien
