Hello! When saxon is used as xslt processor (version 9.1.0.2), I have the following
error when I try to use java.util.prefs.AbstractPreferences.exportSubtree(OutputStream
os) method. The stack trace is the following : java.lang.IllegalArgumentException:
Unknown attribute indent-number at
net.sf.saxon.Configuration.setConfigurationProperty(Configuration.java:3347) at
net.sf.saxon.TransformerFactoryImpl.setAttribute(TransformerFactoryImpl.java:351) at
java.util.prefs.XmlSupport.writeDoc(XmlSupport.java:247) at
java.util.prefs.XmlSupport.export(XmlSupport.java:106) at
java.util.prefs.AbstractPreferences.exportSubtree(AbstractPreferences.java:1596) ...
This error is due to the following line of
java.util.prefs.XmlSupport.writeDoc(XmlSupport.java:247) :
tf.setAttribute("indent-number", new Integer(2)); Does someone had the
same problem ? (and has a solution to resolve it ?) My current work arround is to not to
use saxon for writing the prefs tree...

The names of attributes that can be supplied to TransformerFactory.setAttribute() is
implementation defined; and indent-number is not an attribute that the Saxon
TransformerFactory recognizes. The spec says that it must raise an
IllegalArgumentException rather than ignoring the call. This suggests that the
application you are using is only written and validated to work with one particular XSLT
processor (probably Xalan), and unless you can persuade them to make their code more
portable, that's what you will have to use. It's worth a bug report, though. An
application that only works with one XSLT processor shouldn't be using the JAXP factory
mechanism to instantiate it.
