RE: [xml-dev] how to use xml:base and relative URLs with SAX/Java?

[Anil Philip <goodnewsforyou@yahoo.com>]

No replies???
My basic question is: how do I use xml:base from Java?
Do I have to define everything from scratch in the
schema (in that case, what's the point of having
xml:base as a feature), or is there support in the
language for the construct?
