Using the S9api question

Added by Anonymous over 16 years ago

Hi, As I am very new to JAVA and I am trying to learn how to use SAXON 9.0 with my Java app. (reference http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1864698&forum_id=94027) I am not sure if I am going about this correctly. I am currently using XOM™ to do my transformation but I want to use SAXON because its XSLT 2.0 compliant (and very fast). Looking through the Javadoc API Documentation I am unable to find which library (or package) I need to add to my project to do a simple XSLT 2.0 transformation. I appropriate your help, as I am trying to learn Java. Thanks,

Do I use net.sf.saxon.s9api?

Please see http://www.saxonica.com/documentation/using-xsl/embedding.html I think I'd probably recommend using JAXP for the moment if all you want to do is a simple transformation - that's mainly because it has been around for a while and there's lots of information available. Take a look at the TraxExamples.java sample (issued in the saxon-resources9.0 download) for example of how to use it. So long as you are using JDK 1.5, the only thing you need on your classpath is saxon9.jar.

Thank you Michael, Is JAXP xslt 2.0 compliant? Thanks again, Phil

JAXP has no specific support for XSLT 2.0 features such as specifying an initial template or initial mode for a transformation, or running a stylesheet without a source document, or creating multiple output documents. For access to such features, you'll need to use Saxon extensions (typically by casting the JAXP interfaces to specific Saxon classes).
