context for fo:external-graphic URL?

[dsewell]

I'm encountering an odd problem. I have an XSLT file that is producing XSL-FO output for transformation to PDF. In my transformation scenario, both XML input file and the XSLT file are in the same directory. I have an FO statement

Code: Select all

<fo:external-graphic src="url('{graphic/@url}')"/>

When I ran this on my home system, the URL resolved fine and the PDF contained the graphic. On my work system, the URL does not resolve: no graphic. I have to use

Code: Select all

<fo:external-graphic src="url('/absolute/path/to/{graphic/@url}')"/>

for the graphic to be included.

Any idea why, or what I should check in my oXygen preferences?

and I should have mentioned,

Code: Select all

graphic/@url

resolves to the base filename of the included graphic (with no path information).

Hello,

Do you use the same transformation scenario on both computers? If not what are the differences between the two scenarios? If yes can you post a sample XML file and a sample XSLT stylesheet for reproducing the problem?

thanks for the response--unfortunately I'm travelling for a few days. If I can't resolve the issue locally I'll post something next week.
