custom transformer for XSLT debugger?

[Ron Van den Branden]

Hi,

I have trouble debugging some XSLT stylesheets that triggers some bugs in Saxon-9 (while there was no problem with Saxon-8). I wonder if it is possible to switch to Saxon-8 for the XSLT debugger? Things I tried:
* defining Saxon-8 as external tool, but that does not seem to apply to the XSLT debugger
* trying to trick Oxygen by replacing the Saxon jars with their Saxon-8 counterparts and renaming them to Saxon9*. This produces the error message 'null'

Is there another option?

Thanks,

Ron

Hello,

If you need to use Saxon 8 in the XSLT debugger you have to run an older version of oXygen. I think version 8.2 will be good for you as it includes Saxon 8.9.0.3. You can download it from the Software Archive page and you can have both an oXygen version 9 and an oXygen version 8 installed on the same computer (in different install folders). Version 8.2 accepts a license key for version 9.

This is necessary because usually a new version of Saxon 8 / Saxon 9 introduces API changes which require an adaptation of the XSLT debugger code. That means usually you cannot use a version of Saxon that was not included in the oXygen install kit.
