Hi Hans-Jürgen,
using function 'validate:xsd-report' I notice a surprising behaviour:
- if supplying the XSD via URI, it works as expected
- if supplying the XSD as node, the imports cannot be resolved
Is this a known behaviour and intended?
Yes, this is known: Validation is done by an external process (i.e., not performed by BaseX itself). In order to pass supplied nodes to this pocess, they are serialized and written to a temporary file, which will have a different base URI.
We cannot simply supply the underlying base URI, as there is no guarantee that the resource will still exist, as illustrated by the following example:
let $schema := 'schema1.xsd', $schema-doc := doc($schema) return ( file:delete($schema), validate:xsd-report('doc.xml', $schema) )
Hope this helps, Christian

Dear BaseX people,
using function 'validate:xsd-report' I notice a surprising behaviour:
- if supplying the XSD via URI, it works as expected - if supplying the XSD as node, the imports cannot be resolved
Is this a known behaviour and intended?
In case it is not, see PS for simple code reproducing the behaviour.
Kind regards, Hans-Jürgen
