[oXygen-user] Saxon SA support in oXygen

[Wendell Piez]

Gentlemen,

I am trying out features of schema-aware transformations. I am aware 
that one of the things SaxonSA is supposed to be able to do is signal 
errors when XPath expressions in your XSLT would resolve in empty 
sequences by necessity (given valid input), since the elements named 
would be invalid according to the given schema. (This is documented 
on pp 169-170 of Michael Kay's Programmers Reference, 4th ed., and 
elsewhere.) But I can't get this to work in oXygen. SaxonSA happily 
runs my transform without emitting warnings, even when I put spurious XPath in.

On p 169 of the PR 4ed, Mike indicates that -val:strict has to be 
provided from the command line. In oXygen's Preferences, I can see 
how to set -val, but not -val:strict. Might that have to do with why 
this feature isn't working for me?

This is just a guess, since Saxon does complain if input is not 
valid. Otherwise I'm completely in the dark. I'd be grateful for any tips.

I'm still on oXygen 10; the version of SaxonSA is 9.1.0.3J.

Thanks!
Wendell
