There are XPath 2.0 functions specifically provided to do the job.

And in fact the document() function does this by default if the first argument is a node:

select="document(@ref)"

should work fine.

Well, I tried to simplify the example. In reality, I am using the unparsed-text function which has no base-uri argument () and the resolver is provided with a full java.net.URI so I needed a way to create the correct path in the XPath. I should have been more clear.


Am I still missing something?
