Re: Configuration file for Saxon

Thank you for the reply Michael. I was hoping for something where: bIf a
config file is in a particular location, Saxon will read it automatically.b
I will check with the Adobe engineers and see how they call Saxon and see if I
have any other options. Thanks again!

If the Framemaker application encapsulates Saxon so thoroughly that you don't
have any access to any Saxon APIs, then that's a bit of a challenge.



I can think of a possible hack looking at the Saxon 10 code, but no guarantee
it will work with any other version:



new Configuration() calls Configuration.init() which calls
Version.platform.initialize(this)



Version.platform is public static, and is initialized to platform = new
net.sf.saxon.java.JavaPlatform();



So you could try loading Saxon before FrameMaker gets a chance to, and
statically initialize Version.platform to a subclass of
net.sf.saxon.java.Platform that overrides initialize(config) with code that
sets properties on the configuration.



It really is a horrible hack, but I can't think of anything better.

I am using Saxon EE through another application (Adobe FrameMaker). I want to

Since I am not specifying calls to Saxon directly, I donbt have the ability
to specify a configuration file. Is there a way to have a configuration file
read by default when Saxon is called? Thank you very much.
