Trying to compile XSLT from file after setting set_configuration_property('http://saxon.sf.net/feature/allowedProtocols', 'http,https') gives java.lang.NullPointerException

Description

I am used to set the processor to only allow http and https as the allowed protocols if I tend to deploy Saxon with Java or .NET or Python to a server, the intent (which worked fine for me so far) is to disallow user code in XSLT/XPath/XQuery to access the file system with e.g. the doc, collection, unparsed-text, json-doc functions.

However, with SaxonC HE 12.1, that approach now gives me a NullPointerException when simply trying to compile some XSLT (from file):

from saxonche import *

with PySaxonProcessor(license=False) as proc:
    print(proc.version)

    proc.set_configuration_property('http://saxon.sf.net/feature/allowedProtocols', 'http,https')

    xslt30_processor = proc.new_xslt30_processor()

    xslt30_executable = xslt30_processor.compile_stylesheet(stylesheet_file='pipeline-for-svrl.xsl.SaxonEE12CompiledForHE.sef')

Output:

I guess the NullPointerException is a bug in any case, I don't know whether subjecting the XSLT compilation to protocol restrictions is intended, I don't think this happened in 12.0.

For it's worth, I tried some similar Java code with Saxon HE 12.1

        Processor processor = new Processor(false);

        processor.setConfigurationProperty(Feature.ALLOWED_PROTOCOLS, "http,https");

        XsltCompiler xsltCompiler = processor.newXsltCompiler();

        XsltExecutable xsltExecutable = xsltCompiler.compile(new File("pipeline-for-svrl.xsl.SaxonEE12CompiledForHE.sef"));

and there I don't get any error or protocol exceptions.

Event if I set e.g. proc.set_configuration_property('http://saxon.sf.net/feature/allowedProtocols', 'file,http,https') I get the NullPointerException.

Do you have a repo that you can add to this issue please or send via email?

The relevant Python code is in the issue already, while it shows a particular XSLT I don't think that matters, so any XSLT will trigger the null pointer exception; I will attach two files that give the exception.

Thanks. I have managed to reproduce it and patched a fix in the SaxonCAPI class.

Running the python script again gives the following error:

saxoncee.PySaxonApiError: URIs using protocol file are not permitted. Line number: -1

Is that the intended behaviour with SaxonC 12 and the Python API and the setting processor.setConfigurationProperty(Feature.ALLOWED_PROTOCOLS, "http,https");?

For Java https://www.saxonica.com/html/documentation12/javadoc/net/sf/saxon/lib/Feature.html#ALLOWED_PROTOCOLS I am used to have the setting (http,https) block XSLT file access from XSLT code for e.g. xsl:import or xsl:include or doc, unparsed-text, collection, uri-collection, json-doc but certainly not for my Java code trying to compile an XSLT stylesheet with the Java API.

Due to how we resolve files before compiling them this rule is being applied. This is an interesting problem that I will have to investigate further and decide what the best thing is to do.

I have added a further fix to do what Java does. I have put back in the fallback mechanism which creates a Source object from a File.

Even with current, intermediate 12.2 Windows build I continue to get a NullPointerException:

I have added a patch in the SaxonCAPI.java file to use the fallback mechanism. Similar to comment #7 but to also catch the NullPointerException.
