Saxon

From Max Toro maxtoroq@gmail.com on the Saxon help list:

I'm using Saxon-HE 9.4.0.6 for .NET

I'm having trouble with a transformation that uses a root element node

(doesn't have a parent document node) as initial context node. I get a

NullReferenceException on Saxon.Api.XsltTransformer.Run(XmlDestination

destination), looking with reflector I suspect the issue might be with

one of these lines:

DocumentInfo doc = this.initialContextNode.getDocumentRoot();

        this.controller.registerDocument(doc, (doc.getBaseURI() ==

null) ? null : new DocumentURI(doc.getBaseURI()));

I think it's trying to get the root node as a document node, which it

isn't. This element node is constructed in an XSLT transformation,

passed as argument to an integrated extension function which uses it

as initial context node in a new transformation, which is the one that

fails.

Besides the NullReferenceException, does XSLT allow you to start a

transformation with a parentless element?
