Re: [xsl] How do you use the URIResolver interface to find xsl templatesin a WAR base application

[Robert Koberg <rob at koberg dot com>]

Hi,

Why not just put your XSL in:
File "C:\Program 
Files\IBM\ApplicationDeveloper\workspace\PositionControlFormsWeb\webApplication\WEB-INF\xsl\


A further benefit of having your XSL/XML under WEB-INF is it's hidden securely from your app user.

Curious, what do you think the following should return?

final String documentRoot =
getServletConfig().getServletContext().getRealPath("");

(answer: the root of WEB-INF)

best,
-Rob
