Are you trying to test that the output property is reset to the value "null"? The spec is a little vague here. The initial values for output properties are supposed to be as defined in section 16 of the XSLT 1.0 specification. In fact most of the defaults defined in XSLT 1.0 are context-dependent in one way or another. Despite this, Saxon defaults the "method" property to "xml", and I think this is a legimate interpretation of the spec.

No, I am testing that after each reset on the transformer, the value of the "method" property is reset. If I modify the previous code snippet by moving the line 4: [System.err.println(transformer.getOutputProperty(OutputKeys.METHOD)); ], after the second reset the default value of the "method" property is [text] (code below). I think that defaults the "method" property to "xml" is a good choice too. [code] System.setProperty("javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory", "net.sf.saxon.TransformerFactoryImpl"); Transformer transformer = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer(); transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.METHOD, "xml"); // first reset transformer.reset(); System.err.println(transformer.getOutputProperty(OutputKeys.METHOD));//result is [null] transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.METHOD, "text"); System.err.println(transformer.getOutputProperty(OutputKeys.METHOD));//result is [text] // second reset transformer.reset(); //Assertion fails because result is [text] assertEquals(null, transformer.getOutputProperty(OutputKeys.METHOD)); [/code]
