Re: Referring to stylesheet itself, possible in XSLT 1

In XSLT 1.0 you could do document('') to retrieve the xslt stylesheet
document itself, and as a result you could do some funny  things
transforming oneself. In XSLT 2.0, there is resolve-uri() and
document-uri(), the second of which takes a document or node as
reference, but it is not possible to use document('') (with empty
string) to refer to the current xslt file, it will throw an error. Is

This is not so at all. A lot of the FXSL templates use document('')
successfully.

An error could be thrown if the document-uri could not be determined,
which is the case when a stylesheet is not loaded from a file but is
(dynamically generated and/or) present in memory.

Hi List,

I want to retrieve the name of the xslt file that is currently
processing something for purposes of logging and tracing.

In XSLT 1.0 you could do document('') to retrieve the xslt stylesheet
document itself, and as a result you could do some funny  things
transforming oneself. In XSLT 2.0, there is resolve-uri() and
document-uri(), the second of which takes a document or node as
reference, but it is not possible to use document('') (with empty
string) to refer to the current xslt file, it will throw an error. Is
there a way to get the current xslt file with XSLT 2.0?

Suppose there is a way, will that method be interfered by a possible
xml:base on the xsl:stylesheet element? With XSLT 1.0, it has the effect
that document('') tries to find a (?) document at the level of the
xml:base attribute.

Any ideas are welcome. Thanks in advance.
