Hi Marco,
The result returned by function base-uri is: file:///C:/software/test_include/include1/include1/include2/include2/include3/include3.xml which I think is wrong, I think it should be: file:///C:/software/test_include/include1/include2/include3/include3.xml
The answer is correct (you will see this if you try other XQuery processors): Your resulting base uri is composed by recursively resolving the relative base URIs. A simplified example:
base-uri( <a xml:base="a/"> <b xml:base="b/"> <c xml:base="c.xml"/> </b> </a>//c )
The base URIs are: • element a: ...original base uri.../a/ • element b: ...original base uri.../a/b/ • element c: ...original base uri.../a/b/c.xml
Cheers Christian
