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.

    Is there a way to have a configuration file read by default when
