default base-uri for a module in 8.7.1

Michael, We notice a behavioral difference between Saxon 8.7 and 8.7.1. The base-uri
is set through the API, and in 8.7 this is used as default (overwritable through the
prolog) for both the main module and any imported modules. With Saxon 8.7.1 the base-uri
for the imported modules seems to default to the physical location of the file
containing the module query text (for simplicity assuming the default module uri
resolver is in charge). Here is a repro. Query: declare base-uri
"file:///C:/test"; import module namespace
foo="http://www.foo.com" at "file:///C:/module.xq";
foo:test() Module: module namespace foo = "http://www.foo.com";
declare function foo:test() { doc("test.xml") }; test.xml is located
in the directory C:/test With Saxon 8.7 we get as expected the content of test.xml With
Saxon 8.7.1 the following error is returned: Error on line 4 of file:/C:/module.xq:
FODC0005: java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\test.xml (The system cannot find the file
specified) I think that a recent change in XQueryFunction#compile is causing the
difference? Thanks, Marc

Apologies for the delay in responding. For some reason SourceForge has stopped
sending me notifications of forum posts. I think this change was made as part of the fix
for the problem that the ModuleURIResolver was being used only at the top level. It
seems correct to use the physical file location, overridden by the base URI from the
prolog if specified. If there's a ModuleURIResolver, then I think that can also
determine the base URI by setting the SystemID property in the returned StreamSource. I
don't think it makes sense to use the value supplied using setBaseURI() in the API for
all modules, since there's only one value. I would take guidance here from XQJ, but
unfortunately XQJ doesn't seem to allow the base URI to be set by the calling
application even for the main module.
