Saxon

Hard to tell without further diagnostics. Essentially there are four possible "top-level" reasons: Saxon isn't searching for reflexive extension functions, it is searching but isn't finding the class, it finds the class but can't load it, or it loads the class and can't find the right method. Running with the search tracing enabled should give a clue: from the command line this is the -TJ flag, from the API it's Configuration.traceExternalFunctions(true).

A futher review of the log file shows that the saxon xslt and xpath classes are used by spring integration. But I could not get Configuration to change any output to log file or stdout/stderr. Do I have to load Configuration from an XPathContext or is there a global Configuration? There is no access to XPathContext using Spring Integration beans. I reverted from saxon ee to saxon sa by replacing the jar archives and now it works. Is there a difference between sa and ee loading external classes?

The Configuration object is created automatically to underpin the TransformerFactory or XPathFactory. I suspect the issue might be that you are using net.sf.saxon.TransformerFactoryImpl rather than com.saxonica.config.EnterpriseTransformerFactory. This means that your Configuration will be a (basic, home edition) Configuration rather than an EnterpriseConfiguration, which means it does not have the capability to load dynamic extension functions. The change here since 9.1 is that the basic Configuration no longer supports dynamic extension functions. However, I think I will introduce a bug fix here. Most interfaces in Saxon 9.2 are designed so that if you have the Saxon-EE software and a working license file, then you get the Saxon-EE capabilities automatically without asking for them. Instantiating a TransformerFactoryImpl seems to be an exception to this rule. I will change it so that the basic TransformerFactoryImpl loads an EnterpriseConfiguration if it can. Meanwhile, however, please replace your Java system property so it requests com.saxonica.config.EnterpriseTransformerFactory.

I used net.sf.saxon.TransformerFactoryImpl. I changed it to com.saxonica.config.EnterpriseTransformerFactory and now it works. I would like to see a replacement of EnterpriseTransformerFactory to TransformerFactoryImpl. Thanks for your help, Rainer
