<xi:include> not displaying images correctly

Hi All,

I have a piece of code that displays images stored in Base64Binary. The instances used for the same gets populated from a "GET" submission to the database. The code looks as shown below

<xhtml:table>
<xhtml:tr>
<xhtml:td>
<xforms:output ref="instance('company-data')/section-1/logo-file" mediatype="image/*"/>
</xhtml:td>
<xhtml:td>
<xforms:output ref="instance('sponsor-data')/section-1/logo-file" mediatype="image/*"/>
</xhtml:td>
</xhtml:tr>
</xhtml:table>

The above piece of code is repetitive across the entire application. So I tried putting this in a file and include the file using <xi:include>. The problem is that the images appear on body load, but any activity on the page (like clicking on links, or filling input box etc) loses the images. If I include this piece of code in the file instead of doing an <xi:include> it works perfectly fine.

A detailed analysis using firebug shows me that orbeon creates an image under the dynamic folder (/XXXXX/xforms-server/dynamic/b5b3e3f222f7d4fd8eae65b9f8d15e9c) in its engine and gives the browser a unique handle (b5b3e3f222f7d4fd8eae65b9f8d15e9c) to this image, on any activity the unique handle is changing (happens for <xi:include but not if the code is written directly in the file).

Can anybody explain me whats going on here? How is the orbeon engine handling this include ?

regards

SD,

That's probably because, unfortunately, xi:include adds an xml:base
attribute by default, which changes the base for URL resolution. Not
sure why anybody thought this would ever be useful!

The good news is that you can override this:

xmlns:xxi="http://orbeon.org/oxf/xml/xinclude"

<xi:include href="my URL" xxi:omit-xml-base="true"/>

Re: <xi:include> not displaying images correctly

Erik,

Thanks for the resolution, xxi:omit-xml-base="true" did the job.
