[oXygen-user] xsl:result-document and Saxon-SA gives "Cannot write to a URI that has already been read"

[George Cristian Bina]

Hi Andrew,

When you specify as XML input ${currentFileURL} for the transformation 
that will be resolved to the stylesheet location, as that is the current 
file when you run the transformation.

If there is no output specified oXygen sets on the output stream a 
system ID (to have eventual references to images for instance resolved 
correctly in the XHTML preview) and uses the stylesheet location for 
that. But as the stylesheet is set also as input Saxon complains that it 
cannot write to that location.

We get however the same behavior for both Saxon B and Saxon SA in oXygen.

If you do not need an input for the transformation then use the advanced 
processor options in the scenario to set initial template/initial mode 
for the transformation.

Best Regards,
George
