Hi, i was trying to use saxon he / xquery with external functions. unfortunatelly it took me a day and trying another xqj engine to find out that it was not my fault but just a licensing issue. saxon just reports that it cannot find the classes, nothing about a missing license or unsupported feature. This should really be improved to make possible customers happy ;) Best, Edmund

Unfortunately it has always been difficult to give good error messages when a function call refers to an unknown function. This is because Saxon looks in half a dozen different places (built in functions, stylesheet functions, constructor functions, vendor extension functions, etc), and when the function isn't found in any of these places, it's difficult to explain to the user, who probably knew which of the places the function "should" have been in.
