am I right, that both XML catalogs and XIncludes get only evaluated at
document import, not at XQuery execution?

XIncludes and catalog resolving will happen at document parse time, hence: only if `basex` successfully found your document it will pass it on to the parser and the parser will try to resolve entities and uris w.r.t. to your catalog file.

The doc function will initiate parsing, but it will not look for a catalog by default.

To overcome this you may either use the command: `set catfile /path/to/catalog.xml`, `declare option db:catfile „path/to/catalog.xml“` or or you may want to use the `fetch:xml` function, which imho is the most flexible approach.

The following worked for me:

1. Remove the static-base-uri() from your query, as this will affect how doc tries to resolve URLs, but the doc function is not aware of XML catalogs

2. Create a catalog.xml

<rewriteSystem systemIdStartString="http://example.com/restxq-framework/src/"

rewritePrefix="file:///Users/michael/ml/catalog-resolver/"/>

</catalog>

3. XInclude:

<xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude" href="http://example.com/restxq-framework/src/fragments/hello.xml"/>

4. Tell the XML parser to make use of your catalog:

fetch:xml(

"/Users/michael/ml/catalog-resolver/fragments/xhtml5-page.xhtml",

map {

"catfile": "/Users/michael/ml/catalog-resolver/catalog.xml“

}

)

This is what I came up with: https://git.dev.basex.org/snippets/53

Hope this helps!

Best from Konstanz,

Michael

Hello,

If I do

declare base-uri "http://example.com/restxq-framework/src/";

let $file := doc("fragments/xhtml5-page.xhtml")
return $file

and I have an XML Catalog entry like this:

<uri id="RESTXQ-Famework"
name="http://example.com/restxq-framework/src/"
uri="file:///S:/projects/restxqfr/src/"/>

or this:

<rewriteSystem id="RESTXQ-Famework"
systemIdStartString="http://example.com/restxq-framework/src/"
rewritePrefix="file:///S:/projects/restxqfr/src/" />

BaseX tries to load the 'fragments/xhtml5-page.xhtml' from
'example.com/restxq-framework/src/'
