---------------------------------------

             Summary: baseURI given for FopFactoryBuilder is overridden <base> in fop.xconf, but only if URI in <base> is absolute
                 Key: FOP-3238
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOP-3238
             Project: FOP
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: documentation
    Affects Versions: 2.10
            Reporter: Michael Kainzbauer
         Attachments: InitFopFactory.java

I am not sure if this is only a documentation issue or a bug.

{*}Observed behavior{*}:

When I create a FopFactoryBuilder like so:

{{var baseURI = new URI("http://example.com");}}
{{var fopFactoryBuilder = new FopFactoryBuilder(baseURI);}}
 
it's baseURI is set to {{{}"http://example.com"{}}}, which works as expected.
 
When I further set a configuration to this builder, which has a relative baseURI, 
 
{{var configWithRelativeBase = configurationBuilder.build(apacheXConfWithRelativeBaseURI());}}
{{fopFactoryBuilder.setConfiguration(configWithRelativeBase);}}
 
the baseURI remains {{{}"http://example.com"{}}}, as above.
 
 
When I instead set a configuration to this builder, which has a absolute baseURI, the baseURI changes to this value configured in <base></base>.
 
{*}Expected behavior{*}:
The baseURI for the factoryBuilder should change/not change, regardless if the baseURI from <base> in fop.xconf is absolute, or not. At least, the documentation should mention this behavior.
 
There is a footnote in the documentation: [https://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/2.10/configuration.html#fn:1]
 
{quote}Relative URIs for those properties are evaluated relative to the base URI of the configuration file. If the configuration is provided programmatically, the base URI can be set with {{FopFactory.setUserConfigBaseURI}} ; default is the current working directory{quote}
 
However, there is no {{setUserConfigBaseURI}}  in class {{{}FopFactory{}}}, which seems to be an error in the documentation.
 
Also, either the behavior of overwriting the baseURI passed to the constructor by the <base> value from fop.xconf is inconsistent or not documented correctly.
 
Please find a minimum example for reproducing this behavior attached to this issue.
