Hi List,

I want to retrieve the name of the xslt file that is currently processing something for purposes of logging and tracing.

In XSLT 1.0 you could do document('') to retrieve the xslt stylesheet document itself, and as a result you could do some funny things transforming oneself. In XSLT 2.0, there is resolve-uri() and document-uri(), the second of which takes a document or node as reference, but it is not possible to use document('') (with empty string) to refer to the current xslt file, it will throw an error. Is there a way to get the current xslt file with XSLT 2.0?

Suppose there is a way, will that method be interfered by a possible xml:base on the xsl:stylesheet element? With XSLT 1.0, it has the effect that document('') tries to find a (?) document at the level of the xml:base attribute.

Any ideas are welcome. Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
