Bug 330017

Description Henning Heitkoetter 2010-11-11 11:39:16 EST

The value of the location attribute of import elements should be interpreted as relative to the URI of the importing document.

Example:
Document /absolute/path/to/A.bpmn2 has an import element with location="subfolder/B.bpmn2". This should be resolved as "/absolute/path/to/subfolder/B.bpmn2".

At the moment, this only works if the BPMNResource of the importing document (A) that contains the import element is created with an absolute URI. If the resource has a relative URI (which should be common when constructing BPMN models), a relative import location can not be (de)resolved, as location and resource/base URI are relative.
(With the current implementation, it works if the import location is relative to the working directory instead of the importing document, which is not what we want, because the working directory of a program execution can change and has no meaning for the BPMN model.)

As a second way of specifying the import location, we should also support absolute URIs in the location attribute.
