Good question. There isn't any way of setting this up using configuration or TransformerFactory properties. I think your best approach is to define the library packages in a configuration file, and nominate the configuration file using the property "http://saxon.sf.net/feature/configuration-file"

Here's the example of package info in the configuration file from the documentation:

<xsltPackages>
    <package name="http://package.one/" version="1.0" sourceLocation="packageOne.xsl" 
      exportLocation="packageOne.sef"/>
    <package name="http://package.one/" version="2.0-beta" sourceLocation="2.0beta/packageOne.xsl" 
      exportLocation="2.0beta/packageOne.sef"/>
    <package name="http://package.two/" version="8.6.3" sourceLocation="packageTwo.xsl">
       <withParam name="debug" select="true()"/>
       <withParam name="maxTransactions" select="300"/>
    </package>
  </xsltPackages> 

and the documentation is here:

Many thanks for your quick reply.

But unfortunately, your solution is not applicable to Saxon-HE !?

How does it fail?

In Ant could try and use the exec task.

For example:

  <!-- XMarkBenchmark sample test, requires EE (takes approx 6 mins) -->
    <target name="test-samples-XMarkBenchmark-j" depends="samples-j" description="Run test of XMarkBenchmark sample">

        <exec executable="java"
              dir="${build-resources.dir}/samples"
              failonerror="true">
            <arg line="-cp ${basedir}/${build-resources.dir}/samples/java/classes${Z}${basedir}/${build-hej.dir}/saxon9he.jar${Z}${license.dir}"/>
            <arg line="ee/XMarkBenchmark"/>
            <arg line="-dir:${xmark.dir}"/>
            <arg line="-sa"/>
        </exec>
    </target>

@Michael:

Hopefully it does not!

Following the docs which comment every configuration feature as PE or EE restricted, I started looking for work-arounds.

Then I received your message and created a config file, which worked fine.

So very nice indeed - but is this officially supported in HE?

(I would get a PE license if necessary)

Robert.

Certainly, configuration files are supported in HE.

With HE you can load packages in either source (XSL) or compiled (SEF) format.

But you need EE to create a package in compiled (SEF) format.
