RE: [xsl] include css in xsl

Hi,

A couple of things:

1. You do realize that anything behind WEB-INF (in a servelet container) is
protected. That is, it is not available to the client.

2. You are using backslashes when you should be using forward slashes:
 href="../css/style.css"

Solution:

Put your CSS folder in your docroot and reference by a root relative path:

 href="/css/style.css"

you can still use relative paths (perhaps you want to generated pages offline?)
by figuring out where your transformation places the rendered version in your
server's path. I assume you are using a servlet - so you can see what the
url-pattern is and assume that is where your rendered version is in relation to
the CSS.

For example, if you have:

<servlet>
    <servlet-name>Blah</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>com.Blah</servlet-class>
    <load-on-startup/>
   </servlet>
   <servlet-mapping>
      <servlet-name>Blah</servlet-name>
      <url-pattern>/Blah</url-pattern>
   </servlet-mapping>

in a webapp that is living off of:

http://myserver.com/myapp

you would need a style href like the following:

root relative - href="/myapp/css/style.css"
document relative - href="css/style.css"

best,
-Rob
