I'm using the AbstractXsltView and I'd like to use relative paths in my xsl:import. In the past I've accomplished this by setting a system ID to StreamSource objects upon their construction. Here's a patch to AbstractXsltView that accomplishes this (I've only tested running within a web container (Tomcat)):
