RE: [xsl] java-xsl - functional(?) URIResolver

["Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Java coding is dangerously close to being off-topic...

I used to steer very clear of anonymous classes but I'm tending to use them
rather more for callbacks than I used to. The big disadvantage of course is
that the code isn't reusable.

Your code raises the question of whose resposibility it is to call
setSystemId() on the returned Source object. I don't think the spec makes it
clear.
