We've been testing Studio against a large number of XSLT scripts and have found it very user friendly and professional. We have one serious problem however; it's lack of support for documented "1.1" (as Xalan or Saxon refer to it) functionality. Specifically, we've a number of libraries of extension functions (via exslt func:*) which are implemented natively in a number of XSL processors without difficulty, but cause Java exceptions in Studio.

Have you any plans in this regard? We'd love to use Studio fulltime, but the lack of this functionality would make it unusable from our point of view.

What you call "documented 1.1" functionality, are part of an aborted XSLT
specification effort (1.1). Stylus will support extension functions as
specified in XSLT 2.0, when it will become a recommended spec by W3C.

The most recent version of Stylus (4.0) supports debugging based on XalanJ
(the same debugging functionality available for debugging based on the
internal processor are also available when XalanJ is used); also, the
current beta build of the next version (planned to be released in a bit
more than one month), also supports debugging based on Saxon and MSXML
..net; that should address your issues. If you are interested in being part
of the users beta testing the version which includes Saxon-debugging
support, let me know.

Thanks,
Minollo

Hi,

I'm aware that 1.1 was an interim effort, but a number of parsers seem to have implemented same nevertheless! If you're planning on supporting Saxon, that'll resolve the issues we're experiencing.

Yes, I'd be interested in participating in your beta program if and when available.

Thanks for your prompt reply.

Robin.

I have a few questions regarding the next release of Stylus Studio:

1) Will Stylus fully support EXSLT - Functions in XalanJ debug mode?

2) What level of Saxon debug support will be available?

cheers.........

The current release (4.0 BL100) supports extension functions in XalanJ
debug mode; the only limitation we are aware of is that you can't step into
JavaScript extensions; you can do that into Java extensions.

>2) What level of Saxon debug support will be available?

The next release (4.5, currently available in beta version) will support
Saxon based debugging at the same level we are supporting XalanJ; we are
still working on debugging of extension functions in Saxon; that may or may
not part of the first released 4.5 build.

Hi Carlo,

I downloaded Stylus Studio 4.0.100e with the goal of evaluating its XalanJ support. I see that it has been bundled with Xalan 2.4.D1

The example ran perfectly when I selected the XalanJ processor, however, when I tried to debug it I got the following error message:

example.xsl (11, 17): java.lang.RuntimeException: javax.xml.transform.TransformerConfigurationException: javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: func:result has an illegal following sibling (only xsl:fallback allowed)

Does Stylus support the Xalan 2.4.D1 EXSLT functionality in debug mode? If so, how do I go about setting up the Xalan EXSLT environment correctly?

example xslt file that I used for the test:

xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:func="http://exslt.org/functions"
xmlns:my="http://www.mywork.com"

Derek,

We were able to reproduce the problem, we are working on it.
Thank you for the report

Ivan
