Re: Is it possible to run FOP with Saxon

Hi,
        Have you tried setting the following system property:
                                                                   
                                                                   
                                                                   
                                                                   
  javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory                           
  org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl                
                                                                   
                                                                   
  The latest xalan-j version uses JAXP and checks this property    
  before instantiating a transformer instance. You can pass the    
  Saxon instance instead of the xalan instance.                    
  I hope you know how to pass parameters to java from the command  
  line.                                                            
                                                                   
  %java -Djavax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory="balah..."        
  org.apache.fop. etcetera                                         
                                                                   
  Iam not sure if xalan2.4.1 uses JAXP and I suggest you download  
  the latest version of xalan from apache website.                 
                                                                   
  Iam sure FOP developers have made the parser and xslt processor  
  configurable.

I have a question ..

I am using FOP 0.20.5. I also have Saxon 8.4 ..

FOP by default uses Xalan-J. Can I somehow use Saxon
(instead of Xalan-J) during 1st phase of FO
processing?

I modified fop.bat file as below -

set LOCALCLASSPATH=%LOCAL_FOP_HOME%build\fop.jar
rem set
LOCALCLASSPATH=%LOCALCLASSPATH%;%LIBDIR%\xml-apis.jar
rem set
LOCALCLASSPATH=%LOCALCLASSPATH%;%LIBDIR%\xercesImpl-2.2.1.jar
rem set
LOCALCLASSPATH=%LOCALCLASSPATH%;%LIBDIR%\xalan-2.4.1.jar
set
LOCALCLASSPATH=%LOCALCLASSPATH%;C:\xml\saxonsa8-4\saxon8.jar

But FOP seems "not to select Saxon" ..

Also, is it advisable to run FOP like this (i.e. with
not using Xalan) ..?

Regards,
Mukul
