This error could occur because you failed to specify -c on the command line to tell Saxon you were using a compiled stylesheet. Michael Kay

Yes, I realize that is the way to do it when you run Saxon from line command. However I am working on a stand-alone Java application that should read in a compiled worksheet. The application uses Saxon as a library. I tried using the TraxExamples, but that is where I get the mentioned error messages. It might be that the TraxExamples exampleUseTemplatesObj compiles the stylesheet on the fly and then uses it, but that is not what I want: my compiled stylesheet resides already on disc. Thanks in advance Jozef Aerts

There isn't an example in TraxExamples of how to do this: I suggest you look at the code around line 428-437 of net.sf.saxon.Transform. There's a bit of delicate fixing up to make sure the run-time and the compiled stylesheet are using the same configuration and the same NamePool. You shouldn't try to do this in a multithreaded environment where many transformations are using the same Configuration object - it's essential that the run-time code uses the NamePool that was saved with the compiled stylesheet. I should probably put an API around this to protect you from future changes in the implementation. Michael Kay

Many thanks Michael, Using some code snippets from Transform.java I could indeed now successfully build the application. I used the saxonb8-1-1 for this. It's easy - if you now how. Many thanks again Jozef
