 DITA Open Toolkit woes
Hi folks!

Anyone on this list use the DITA Open Toolkit? My customer reported a problem using the URI strings I've embedded in his bookmap files.

My customer deployed a bookmap with the following generated chapter element in it, and placed the files in a subdirectory of his deployment of the Open Toolkit:

<chapter href="file:/C:/DITA-OT1.5/In/short1-chapter-1-3.xml"/>

This error message is reported:

[pipeline] [DOTJ013E][ERROR] Failed to parse the referenced file 'file:\C:\DITA-OT1.5\In\short1-chapter-1-3.xml' due to below exception. Please correct the reference base on the exception message.
[pipeline] The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect
[pipeline] java.io.IOException: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect


Note how the Open Toolkit has taken a perfectly valid URI string and munged it by changing forward slashes to back slashes and, understandably, the new filenames cannot be opened.

Relative URI strings are not available in this deployment ... I just need the toolkit to treat valid URI strings as valid URI strings without munging them. Because I'm using XSLT in the generation of the bookmap, the filenames have to be full URI strings with "file:/C:/..." prefixes and not simply the DOS filename format "C:\...".

Does anyone know how this can be effected with the OT?

Thanks for your guidance!
