Anyone got any ideas how to enable this ICU support with Xalan on
Windows XP (for Dreamweaver)?

I believe this may be tougher than at first sight. A little research shows that Dreamweaver gives you little options in setting anything other than the defaults for the Xalan processor. Harder yet: there is hardly any mention of the processor being Xalan.


Dreamweaver uses the Xalan-C dll file. You cannot inform Dreamweaver to use any other processor, nor can you change the way it is called (well, perhaps a little bit, lookup PIB_Dynamic.js, but I am uncertain if you want to hack your way through that file). I cannot but conclude that Dreamweaver is severely lacking any options for you to customize its behavior with regards to XSLT processing.

If you like Dreamweaver, use it, but you'll have to live with its lack of support. But consider using something else for your production environment, because this severe lack of configuration possibilities makes it far from ideal. Letting Dreamweaver use ICU is perhaps possible, but it will be way easier to create a tiny plugin in Dreamweaver which calls the Saxon parser (or any other for that matter) when you click Preview.

I'm sorry I can't be of more help,

Cheers,
