I am trying to run Saxon HE from java, using code that can be found in Saxon resources. I have tried changing it so that it doesn't create an aditional file from the java code, but instead having the xslt file doing that throught the use of "result-document".
My xslt did work as intended in Altova XMLSpy, but I wanted to see if I could get Saxon doing the same thing - no luck there, save from a massive head ache and loads of frustration and lots of wishes that Python will get support for this some day soon...
I get the following error message: The system identifier of the principal output file is unknown.
When I google it, I find an answer that the base uri can't be found, but nowhere can be seen how to set the base uri...
So my firt question is: Where is the base uri set? Is it in the java class or in the xslt file? I cannot see where I would set this in the xslt file, so my guess is that I would have to set this as a property of the compiler/transformer?
ANother question is about the actual href attribute of the result-document. If I want to point to a relative path, what is the syntax, and maybe what would an example look like? And what about absolute paths?
In my file that is working in Altova, I somehow get the base uri for the source xml file that is to be transformed, and then I direct the output to a relative directory. In Saxon, the base uri instead seems to get the location of the xslt file... No idea why this is the case. When setting an absolute path, I get an error stating I'm using an unknown protocol. So I entered "file:///" before the path. Now I get a warning complaining about a document not beeing available at a path that is concatenated of the xslt file path, and a lookup path I'm using during the transform.
As you can see, I'm all over the place here, so some guide lines and help would be greatly appreciated.
