RE: document() function - unknown protocol

No problem,

I am generally surprised it is not a more generally proposed solution (most
likely because it is java based -- JAXP). It is pretty simple.

There is a very simple way to implement it. I will point you to read:
http://xml.apache.org/commons/components/resolver/index.html
There are more complex ways that some of us need, but this should suffice.

But basically (in a simplistic way) all you need to do is pass some kind of
Map (key=value, or in other words href=resolvable_custom_uri) or an object
that holds the Map to the resolver. So this:

tFactory.setURIResolver(new MyResolver(""));

could be:

tFactory.setURIResolver(new MyResolver(myProject));

and the URIResolver can look like:

public class MyResolver implements URIResolver
{
  private Project project;

  public MyResolver ( Project _project )
  {
    this.project = _project;
  }

  public Source resolve( String href, String base )
  {
    Source source  = null;
    try {
      source = new StreamSource( this.project.someLookup( href ).getURL() );
    }
    catch ( Exception e ) {
      ...
    }
    if ( null == source )
      source = new StreamSource( new StringReader( "<error/>" ) );

    return source;
  }
}

Best,
-Rob
