[XERCESJ-1102] Wrong value of xml:base attribute after resolving XInclude references

• Type: Bug
• Status: Open
• Priority: Major
• Resolution: Unresolved
• Affects Version/s: 2.7.1
• Component/s: XInclude 1.0
• Environment: J2SE 1.5.0_04
• Assignee: Michael Glavassevich
• Reporter: Sorin Ristache

Description

The value of the xml:base attribute is not computed correctly for files included with XInclude starting with nesting level 2. After resolving the XInclude references the path stored in the xml:base value should be relative to the including document, not relative to the master document.

To reproduce the bug, unarchive the attached zip in the Xerces install directory and in that directory execute the command line

java -cp xercesImpl.jar;xercesSamples.jar sax.Writer -xi XercesXIncludeBug\a.xml

The document echoed in the console contains a "c" element with xml:base="b/c/c.xml". It should be xml:base="c/c.xml".
