Exception in software using Saxon-PE 9.3.0.4J - would like to know whether 9.3.0.11J fixes it

Added by Matthew Kogan about 8 years ago

I am using some software to compare OpenOffice documents. It uses Saxon PE, and with a particular document (of which I have attached a very simplified version) it is throwing the following exception when I compare it with itself:

The version of Saxon PE that they have supplied is 9.3.0.4J. I can see that 9.3.0.11J is available from http://www.saxonica.com/download/information.xml, but if I replace the JAR file I get the error "The installed license (serial number XXXXXXX) does not cover this Saxon maintenance release". I was wondering if anybody could tell me whether this is something that would be fixed in the later version, or if it's actually the case that the XML in the document is invalid in some way. Thanks in advance.

I think this question needs to be directed to DeltaXML. There's no prima facie evidence that this is a Saxon bug (it looks more like an error in a stylesheet or perhaps in the input data). If it's not a Saxon bug then it won't be fixed in a maintenance release, obviously.
