Alexander, were you using the trunk of xml-commons resolver? As Norm said, those general problems had already been fixed recently and we had tested it on Windows. > Could you try the patch I provided? I believe that I've plugged that > hole. But I've also believed that before. At Apache Forrest i upgraded our resolver.jar to use the current xml-commons trunk (r395116). Fine for UNIX. I asked our Windows users to test and yes, all is well. However, we don't specifically use "user.dir" so i suppose that we are just reporting that the new patch didn't break other functionality. -David > | and... > | > | couldn't you use java.io.File.toURI()?
