We stumbled across a different URI-related issue using the JNLP deployed

We fail to convert DocBook4 books onto PDF with the JNLP deployed version of
XXE-7.3; we got the following error message from FOP:
Converting XSL-FO file "__doc.fo" to "__doc.pdf" using FOP
FOP XSL-FO processor error:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: URI is not absolute
I cannot reproduce this problem. I have no problem converting a DocBook
V4 (or V5) document to PDF using FOP, when XXE v7.3 is deployed using
Java Web Start.
The DocBook4 document itself has not changed and can be converted successfully
into PDF using the JNLP deployed version of XXE-6.3, which is the version that
we currently use in production. The JNLP deployment uses the deployment tool
provided with XXE and is therefore the same as for the previous version of XXE.
Is there any chance that the URI file path management has changed since XXE 6.3
?
No.
--> *Ancient* versions of FOP had problems with image URIs which were
not absolute. That's why in *ancient* versions of XXE, there was a
workaround (in the process command used to convert DocBook to PDF) for
this FOP bug.
In recent versions of FOP, the bug is fixed and we have removed the
workaround from the process command:
In XXE v7.3, but also in XXE v6.3, there is NO workaround to absolutize
the URIs of image resources:
---
<command name="docb.toPS">
<process>
...
<copyDocument to="__doc.xml">
...
<resources include="image"
match="(?:.+/)?(.+)\.(png|jpg|jpeg|gif|mml|svg|svgz%1)"
copyTo="resources" referenceAs="resources/$1.$2" />

That's the only problem I recall related to FOP and absolute URIs.
--> If you have customized the process command used to convert DocBook
to PDF and/or customized the DocBook XSL stylesheets and/or use an old
version of the FOP add-on (currently we use Apache FOP 2.1; see
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/addons_doc.html#fop1_foprocessor),
please do not hesitate to send me (mailto:huss...@xmlmind.com) your
customizations.
