URIResolver

  • The URIResolver interface allows customization of how XSLT processors handle external resources like xsl:include, xsl:import, and document() functions.

  • Implementations of the resolve method provide a Source object for the given URI or signal the processor to handle resolution itself by returning null.

  • The resolve method takes the URI and a base URI as input for context and may throw a TransformerException if resolution encounters an error.
public interface URIResolver

An object that implements this interface that can be called by the processor to turn a URI used in document(), xsl:import, or xsl:include into a Source object.
