RE: Problem with document() function on web server

function of web server
The stylesheets are executed server side, and the web server is configured
by someone else. 

What parameters in the server configuration should I check? Is it possible
to restrict namespace declarations or references to external XML documents?

FYI, this is the complete template. In my attempt to be brief, I
accidentally omitted the definition of the month variable.

	<xsl:template name="FrenchDate">
		<xsl:variable name="year" select="substring-before(.,
'-')"/>
		<xsl:variable name="month" select="substring(.,6,2)"/>
		<xsl:variable name="day" select="substring(.,9,2)"/>
		<xsl:value-of select="$day"/>
		<xsl:text> </xsl:text>
		<xsl:value-of
select="document('')/*/fr:month-names/fr:month[@num=$month]"/>
		<xsl:text> </xsl:text>
		<xsl:value-of select="$year"/>
	</xsl:template>

I assume you are being brief here, but just to be sure: where do you define
the variable month?

>   <Name num="03">mar</Name>
>  </French>
> </MonthNames>

I think you can better add a namespace to the external file as well.

For the remainder, I would say that things depend on how you configured your
web server and how you execute the stylesheet. Do you execute them
server-side?

HTH,
Geert
