Saxon allows you to write your own URIResolver
to handle the URIs of input documents, as
defined in the JAXP 1.2 specification. Such a URIResolver
is used to process the URIs supplied to the
doc()
and document()
functions. It is also used to process the URIs supplied for the
source document and the stylesheet on the command line. In XSLT it is used to process the URIs used
in the xsl:include
and xsl:import
and xsl:import-schema
declarations,
and in XQuery it supports the location URIs in import module
and import schema
.
The URIResolver
is called to process
the supplied URI, and it returns a JAXP Source
object, which Saxon uses as the source of
the input. Note that the Source
must be one of the implementations of Source
that Saxon
recognizes: you cannot write your own implementations of the JAXP Source
class.
