Saxon 10.3J: SEF cannot determine Java method

Added by T Hata over 3 years ago

I've contacted support@ twice regarding the same subject and got no reply, so here it is.

Once exported, this stylesheet stops working. This problem is blocking our migration from 9.9 to 10.

Are there any command line switches or some configuration that make it work on 10?

As a first step, I have improved the error message so it now says

XPST0017  There is more than one method matching the function call
  Q{java:java.io.File}new#1, and there is insufficient type information to determine which
  one should be used

So at least we now know which call we are dealing with.

And a look at the SEF file makes it clear that indeed, we don't have enough information to distinguish between new File(String) and new File(URI)

Transferred here

and fixed. Sorry we dropped the ball on this one, and thanks for creating such a simple repro.
