Everyone on vacation these days?

My suspicion is that SaxonJS 3 will give me some API to compile XSLT to SEF and then run that compiled SEF within the same Javascript program, so perhaps then I can just use the transform function and documentPool and/or textResourcePool. If I ever manage to understand the various options the getResource function has; the documentation https://www.saxonica.com/saxon-js/documentation2/index.html#!api/getResource say " Exactly one of location, file, or text must be supplied" but also baseURI property on the options "Absolute base URI for the resource. The base URI of the resource is automatically set when obtained using location or file. This option can be used to set the base URI for a resource supplied using text.".

Where is the base URI used or stored in the context of the Promise getResource returns?

Still have no idea what the baseURI is meant for or where it is used or stored in the context of passing text to getResource but for SaxonJS.transform I finally got some documentPool and textResourcePool working to not make a request to a file or http URL but to use my string/text resource, both within the browser and with Node.js.

The key seems to be to store the absolute URL as the key in the Javascript object.

Still have no idea how to use that approach with SaxonJS.XPath.evaluate.

No. Sorry. Just … busy. I’ll try to look into this today, or early next week.

Be seeing you,

Based on some tests it seems the only place where a documentPool and/or a textResourcePool can be provided is SaxonJS.transform.

Now after some pondering I thought I could just write a custom stylesheet that exposes fn:transform in a public stylesheet function and then pass that SEF compiled stylesheet together with the wanted parameters in and would have a way to use a documentPool and evaluate XSLT on the fly.

My simplest test case seems to fail, however, with SaxonJS 2.5 under Node.js with e.g.

Transformation failure: Error FODC0002 at exposeFnTransform.xsl#8

although the documentPool I have set up has e.g.

I guess I need to file that as a bug (or lack of feature).
