using document() and unc paths 1

[simonchristieis]

I am trying to load an xslt document from a UNC path, and have a bit of an issue.

Using the msxml parser there is no problem loading a file like:

<xsl:param name="inputDirectory" select="'\\server\path'"/>
<xsl:param name="outputFile" select="'file.xslt'"/>


<xsl:variable name="Data" select="document(concat($inputDirectory,'/',$outputFile),/)"/>

However, when I use the xalan parser, it doesn't recognise the unc path and thinks the path is an absolute path unless I concat 'file://' to the beginning of the path.

<xsl:param name="inputDirectory" select="'\\server\path'"/>
<xsl:param name="outputFile" select="'file.xslt'"/>

<xsl:variable name="Data" select="document(concat('file://',$inputDirectory,'/',$outputFile),/)"/>

Does anyone know if there is a xalan setting that is a workaround for this before I change all my xslt's to include 'file://'?

Thanks in advance
