Method Detail

getAbsoluteURIFromRelative

public static String getAbsoluteURIFromRelative(String uri)

Get absolute URI from a given relative URI.

The URI is resolved relative to the system property "user.dir" if it is available; if not (i.e. in an Applet perhaps which throws SecurityException) then it is currently resolved relative to "" or a blank string. Also replaces all backslashes with forward slashes.

Parameters:

uri - Relative URI to resolve

Returns:

Resolved absolute URI or the input relative URI if it could not be resolved.

getAbsoluteURI

public static String getAbsoluteURI(String url)
                             throws javax.xml.transform.TransformerException

Take a SystemID string and try and turn it into a good absolute URL.

Returns:

The resolved absolute URI

Throws:

javax.xml.transform.TransformerException - thrown if the string can't be turned into a URL.

getAbsoluteURI

public static String getAbsoluteURI(String urlString,
                                    String base)
                             throws javax.xml.transform.TransformerException

Take a SystemID string and try and turn it into a good absolute URL.

Parameters:

urlString - SystemID string

base - Base URI to use to resolve the given systemID

Returns:

The resolved absolute URI

Throws:

javax.xml.transform.TransformerException - thrown if the string can't be turned into a URL.
