Re: Applying external XML

Try to use absolute paths in menu.xml or do something like:

<xsl:for-each select="item-uri">
  <xsl:variable name="fileName" select="normalize-space(.)"/>
  <xsl:variable name="infile"
select="concat('file:///',$infilepathname, '/', $fileName)" />
  <xsl:apply-templates select="doc($infile)"/>
</xsl:for-each>
