Hi,

I want to use Saxon as transformer for the java built-in transformation. I explicitly want to use it this way and not through the Saxon dropdown option. How do I do this? Specifying

-Djavax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory=net.sf.saxon.TransformerFactoryImpl

as JRE parameter on the JVM settings page only prduces a provider not found error (with saxon jars put on the project classpath).

Also, what are the external JVM settings actually doing?

The built-in transformation uses the one built-in to the JRE. You can't successfully override it with the settings, since Stylus Studio assumes it's going to be Xalan when it issues the calls.

What processor do you want to set as an external one? Perhaps we can help more if we know what your issue is specifically.

I think I have solved it:

put a file named jaxp.properties into the lib directory of the jre to be used. For Saxon this file should contain the following entry:

javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory=net.sf.saxon.TransformerFactoryImpl

The following parameter has to be added to the Stylus Studio JRE Parameters:

-Djava.endorsed.dirs=d:/Jlib/saxonb9-1

where d:/Jlib/saxonb9-1 stands for the directory holding the Saxon jars

This makes Saxon the built-in JAXP/TRAX processor for the chosen JRE (1.5 or higher). So far I have encountered no problems with Stylus Studio using it this way.
