Hi,

I have a stylesheet that produces the main menu for an application I am developing. The application generates the main menu by calling the XSL transformer from a tag in a JSP, and this ran without a problem. I wanted to each page to have a standard app header, so I created a template in a separate stylesheet that can be called from another stylesheet. All stylesheets reside in the same directory. I then included the header in the main menu stylesheet and called its template, and it produces the following error when I run my application:

Had IO Exception with stylesheet file: header.xsl

My application log file shows the following error in addition to the one above:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.0\bin\header.xsl (The system cannot find the file specified)

If I change the xsl:include href to explicitly set the actual absolute path, the transformation proceeds without error.

I have worked with XSL before and I never had to specify an absolute path in an xsl:include. Does anyone know what's going on?

I am using the xalan-j_2_6_0 and xerces-2_6_2 jar files in my application. The app runs under Tomcat 5.0.

Thanks in advance for your help,
Tom
