Hi,

I'm using the Home Edition 6 (not 2006), release 2, build 287n.
The Saxon XSLT processor which comes with this edition is Saxon 8.1.1.

Now I would like to update to Saxon 8.7.1.
My first naive step was to exchange the saxon8.jar in the bin
directory of SS, but I'm getting the following error when
trying to run a transformation:

"Internal error accessing method in Xalan Driver
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: net/sf/saxon/xpath/XPathException"

You can't manually change the version of the bundled Saxon processor.

I would suggest that you move to a more recent version of Stylus Studio; but in alternative you can configure a different Saxon version as an external custom processor (specifying command line and classpath in the proper fields in the Scenario dialog).

Moving to a recent version would implicate paying for a recent
version, just to be able to update Saxon, right?... I don't see
sane relations here.

The 1 slot for the external custom processor is already
in use on my side for an XSLT processor which I'm currently
refactoring.

If the calls to Saxon are not hard-coded in the main
application, but in an intermediate (Java ?) layer, then it
should be possible for Stylus Studio team to update such
an intermediate layer. But that's just an assumption.

So there's definitively no way to use an other Saxon version
than the one bundled with my Stylus Studio? There's no support
for such scenarios?

The Saxon version bundled with Stylus Studio is closely coupled to supporting modules to expose debugging and profiling; that what makes upgrading that version not as easy as copy and pasting a new jar file.

The two options I mentioned are the only ones currently supported to upgrade version of the bundles Saxon version. For the record, if you upgrade to the latest Enterprise Edition, you'll get access to the commercia Saxon SA version.
