document('') works fine provided the base URI of your stylesheet document is known. The most common reason for it not being known is that you used a StreamSource without calling setSystemId() to say where the input came from. '' is a relative URI, like all relative URIs it is only meaningful relative to a known base URI.

Thanks for the reply, I am using a DOMSource object i.e. DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance(); DocumentBuilder db = dbf.newDocumentBuilder(); Document doc = db.parse(new ByteArrayInputStream(importMessage.getMessageBody())); Source source = new DOMSource(doc); TransformerFactory transformerFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance(); Transformer transformer = transformerFactory.newTransformer(new StreamSource(xslStream)); ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); Result result = new StreamResult(bos); transformer.transform(source, result); Setting the systemid did not seem to make any difference?

Of course the other thing to mention is that this device is never needed with XSLT 2.0. It's much better to put the map in a global variable.

Its' the base URI of the stylesheet that's needed, not the input document. You're supplying the stylesheet as a StreamSource with no systemId, just as I suspected. By the way, using a DOMSource as the input to your transformation makes it go 4 to 10 times slower. Don't do it unless you have a very good reason.

So along the lines of : <xsl:variable name="globalMaps"> <map:myMap name="test1">VALUE</map:myMap> </xsl:variable> <xsl:template name="testLookup"> <xsl:value-of select="$globalMaps/map:myMap" </xsl:template>

That's right.
