Hi,

I have written an xslt that work well with MSXML processor, but if i choose "Saxon 7" the templates are not getting applied. What could be the problem?

Hi Mani,
are you sure you are not using some MSXML-specific instructions (like msxml:script) or even an old WD-XSL namespace in the xmlns:xsl attribute?

Hope this helps,
Alberto

Yes I have used msxsl:node-set. Is there a way to transform a string to node set which works for both msxml and saxon?

Hi Mani,
XSLT 1.0 didn't specify a node-set() function, so every vendor implemented their own version. In the case of Saxon, it's called saxon:node-set.
If you need to have a single XSLT that is processable by both engines you will need to use function-available() to test which function is supported by the engine before invoking it.

Hope this helps,
Alberto

I have remove this dependancy on msxsl and changed the node transformation using xpath condition. Now it works fine for both msxsl and saxon. BTW, is there a way to sniff the processor, can I write an XSLT like ,

if processor is saxon
do saxon:function
else if processor is msxsl
do msxsl:function
otherwise
do xsl:message
fi

Hi Mani,
you can use function-available, like in this example

<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="function-available(msxml:node-set)">
<xsl:for-each select="msxml:node-set($foo)">
<xsl:call-template name="$foo-template"/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="function-available(saxon:node-set)">
<xsl:for-each select="saxon:node-set($foo)">
<xsl:call-template name="$foo-template"/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:message terminate="yes">
<xsl:text>Sorry, this processor does not support node-set()</xsl:text>
</xsl:message>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>

Alternatively, you can test the name of the processor itself, by using system-property('xsl:vendor-url'), like in this example

<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="system-property('xsl:vendor-url')='http://www.saxonica.com/'">
Running under Saxon 8
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="system-property('xsl:vendor-url')='http://saxon.sf.net/'">
Running under Saxon 6
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="system-property('xsl:vendor-url')='http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j'">
Running under Xalan-J
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="system-property('xsl:vendor-url')='http://www.microsoft.com'">
Running under MSXSL
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:message terminate="yes">
<xsl:text>Unsupported processor</xsl:text>
</xsl:message>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>

Hope this helps,
Alberto
