Transformation output
Hi, On this box, I have a transformation scenario configured with the XSL URL on a shared network drive and the XML URL on my local file system; when I transform, the stylesheet calls xsl:result-document to output many new documents, and the output is created in the same working directory as the _XSL_ URL. However, on another box, using an almost identical setup (Oxygen 12.0, OS X 10.6.6, Java 1.6.0_24, Saxon-PE 9.1.2.1), the output is created in the same working directory as the _XML_ URL. I don't see a way in the GUI to configure this--it would be awesome if the Output tab would allow me to specify the output destination (currently if I choose "Prompt for file", it will only work for the _first_ file handled by xsl:result-document). Can you assist, or may I submit a request for future enhancement?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Shannon I assume that you set the href-attribut of xsl:result-document relative (e.g. "href='result.xml' "), and that your scenarios have different settings for the output destination. The xslt processor resolves the output destination of xsl:result-document relative to the main output destination [1], so identical explicit (absolute) settings for the output destination should solve your problem. Oxygen provides some editor variables like ${cfdu} and ${cfn} to make this comfortable. BTW: I prefer the use of absolute URIs within stylesheets, because they are much clearer and predictable then relative ones in defining output targets. Within a stylesheet, you can use base-uri() or document-uri() for calculating absolute URIs relative to the input or the stylesheet. If you want to use instead a stylesheet parameter, you can use Oxygen's editor variables as well.

If the effective value is a relative URI, then it is resolved relative to the base output URI." Am 10.03.2011 19:43, schrieb Shannon:
