Saxon

The two products Saxon-B and Saxon-SA correspond to the two conformance levels defined in the XSLT 2.0 specification, "basic" and "schema-aware". The basic conformance level does not allow derived types like xs:long. There's a workaround for this in Saxon, though it's on the borderlines of what the conformance rules permit: saxon:allow-all-built-in-types="yes" http://www.saxonica.com/documentation/extensions/attributes/allowallbuiltintypes.html If you set this attribute, xs:long will be recognized. If you want to be fully conformant, you should process this stylesheet using a schema-aware XSLT processor.

ok, so how come when I run it in saxon-SA (using the eval license you just sent me ( thanks! :-) ) I get the same error? is there a flag I must set or an arg I must pass in SA?

I get the same results regardless of weather I use Saxon B or SA (here is a saxon-B example) $ java -jar saxon8.jar -t input.xml rules.xsl > output.xml Saxon 8.9J from Saxonica Java version 1.5.0_11 Error on line 11 column 297 of file:/c:/Program%20Files/saxon/rules.xs l: SXXP0003: Error reported by XML parser: The prefix "saxon" for attribute "saxon:allow-all-built-in-types" associated with an element type "xsl:styleshe et" is not bound. Failed to compile stylesheet. 1 error detected.

To run Saxon-SA in schema-aware mode, use the -sa flag on the command line.

Firstly, saxon8.jar is Saxon-B, even if you got it as part of the Saxon-SA package. You need to run saxon8sa.jar and to use the -sa option (or the com.saxonica.Transform entry point). Secondly: you can't use a Saxon extension attribute unless you declare the Saxon namespace. That's basic XML hygiene. The namespace is http://saxon.sf.net/ Michael Kay http://www.saxonica.com/

sorry for being a noob. this is my first XML project. so now it says: Failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute from saxon8sa.jar I really want this to work, so that I can tell my boss to buy a copy for my project.

Please read (a) http://www.saxonica.com/documentation/using-xsl/commandline.html for a description of how to use Saxon XSLT from the command line, and (b) http://www.saxonica.com/documentation/index/installationjava/licensefaq.html for some of the things that go wrong if you don't read (a) carefully enough.

ok, read those and many more. still no joy. here is my latest command line: C:\saxonsa> java -cp c:\saxonsa\saxon-license.lic;c:\saxonsa\saxon8sa.jar -t inp ut.xml rules.xsl > output.xml Unrecognized option: -Xt Could not create the Java virtual machine. can you please just give me an example command line that should work assuming the following things: saxon-SA, the licence file, all xml, xsl and xsd files are in the same dir

if both the license file and the saxon8sa.jar are in c:\saxonsa, you need java -cp c:\saxonsa;c:saxonsa\saxon8sa.jar net.sf.saxon.Transform -sa -t source.xml style.xsl Michael Kay

:-( C:\saxonsa>java -cp c:\saxonsa;c:saxonsa\saxon8sa.jar net.sf.saxon.Transform -sa -t input.xml rules.xsl Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: net/sf/saxon/Transfor m this is getting to be a big pain.

progress? or just different failure. C:\saxonsa>set classpath=c:\saxonsa;c:\saxonsa\saxon8sa.jar C:\saxonsa>java -cp saxon8sa.jar net.sf.saxon.Transform -sa -t input.xml rules.x sl Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: License file saxon-licens e.lic not found at com.saxonica.validate.JavaVerifier.loadLicense(JavaVerifier.java:48) at com.saxonica.validate.PlatformVerifier.getFeature(PlatformVerifier.ja va:63) at com.saxonica.validate.SchemaAwareConfiguration.getFeature(SchemaAware Configuration.java:85) at com.saxonica.validate.SchemaAwareConfiguration.isSchemaAware(SchemaAw areConfiguration.java:104) at net.sf.saxon.Transform.doTransform(Transform.java:126) at net.sf.saxon.Transform.main(Transform.java:60)

Sorry, I mistyped, that should be java -cp c:\saxonsa;c:\saxonsa\saxon8sa.jar net.sf.saxon.Transform -sa -t input.xml rules.xsl The message from Java (NoClassDefFoundError) is what you get when you invoke a class that isn't on the classpath. There's no error from having a file on the classpath that doesn't exist, so you learn to recognize that this message means a typing error in the classpath.

>License file saxon-license.lic not found As explained on the troubleshooting page, this means that the directory containing the license file isn't on the classpath.

finally, it works. thanks! now that i can see it work from the command line, I can start integrating it into an app.
