Subject: Re: [xsl] Behavior of document() Function with Empty String From: David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun, 17 Dec 2006 01:23:33 GMT |

Yet when I call > it from within my Java web application, it causes an exception: document() with no parameter at all would be a syntax error. document('') is a request to load the ml file at the relatve URI '' which is the current stylesheet, so long as the current stylesheet has base URI which allows the relative uri '' to be resolved (the stylesheet may nt have a uri if it has been constructed in memory. (Acually the RFC has some special rules about '' which might mean it could resolve to the current document even if that doesn't have a URI (I think) but I wouldn't rely on that. David
