Whoops. Never mind. It works to use a path relative to the xquery file: doc(‘hella.xsl’). That was not working earlier, presumably because of some unrelated problem.

I have a module packaged as a XAR and installed in the repo. In xquery I want to load xslt. This did not work:

<package name="http://example.com/hellaworld" abbrev="hella" version="1.0.0" spec="1.0" xmlns="http://expath.org/ns/pkg"> <title>Hella world functions</title> <dependency processor="basex"/> <xslt> <import-uri>http://example.com/hellaworld/hella.xsl</import-uri> <file>hella.xsl</file> </xslt> <xquery> <import-uri>http://example.com/hellaworld</import-uri> <file>hella.xq</file> </xquery> </package>

Then using the import-uri with doc, e.g.:

(: within hella.xq in the package :) xslt:transform($some, doc(‘http://example.com/hellaworld/hella.xsl%E2%80%99))

It does work, to use a path relative to the root of tomcat which I’m running basex in:

doc(‘webapps/basex/repo/http-example.com-hellaworld-1.0.0/hella/hella.xsl’)

but, I hope there is another way. How can I reference another file that is within the XAR package?
