    Description

      When using XInclude in a log4j2 configuration, it uses the CWD of the running application instead of the location of the log4j configuration as base.
      I.e. running the application from within eclipse, the CWD of eclipse is used as base for finding the document to be included.

      IMO, the problem is in XmlConfiguration:

                  final InputStream configStream = configSource.getInputStream();
                  try {
                      buffer = toByteArray(configStream);
                  } finally {
                      configStream.close();
                  }
                  final InputSource source = new InputSource(new ByteArrayInputStream(buffer));
                  final Document document = newDocumentBuilder().parse(source);
      

      There is no way the DOMParser can know, where the base should be, because it is just parsing an InputStream and has no file location.

      The fix would be to add source.setSystemId(configSource.getLocation()) before parsing the document.
