Using Saxon 9.7 and XSLT 3.0 and output method="adpative"

[Martin Honnen]

Using oXygen 18 and an XSLT 3.0 transformation with Saxon 9.7 EE added as an external XSLT engine I don't get the right output when using the new output method adaptive and outputting values like an array, for instance the minimal XSLT stylesheet

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"

	xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"

	xmlns:math="http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions/math"

	xmlns:array="http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions/array"

	xmlns:mf="http://example.com/mf"

	exclude-result-prefixes="xs math array mf"

	version="3.0">

	

	<xsl:output method="adaptive"/>

		

	<xsl:template name="main">

		<xsl:sequence select="[1, 2, 3]"/>

	</xsl:template>

	

</xsl:stylesheet>

inside of oXygen outputs

Code: Select all

1 2 3

in the result pane while Saxon run from the command line outputs the correct array syntax

Code: Select all

[1,2,3]

Hi Martin,

Thank you for reporting this Saxon 9.7 related issue. I've investigated a bit and it looks like the "adaptive" method is explicitly handled inside the command line entry point: net.sf.saxon.Transform. We are using Saxon through its Java API for XML Processing (JAXP) implementations and it looks like these implementations don't handle the "adaptive" method.

I will contact Saxonica and ask for their advice on how to solve this issue. If we are lucky we'll be able to perform a fix on our side. If not, then we'll need a new Saxon 9.7 build. I'll keep you posted!

Best regards,
Alex

Hi,

The Oxygen 19.1 release should also fix this issue.
