[oXygen-user] Upgrading Saxon, and custom processor thoughts

[George Cristian Bina]

Hi Florent,

We will consider adding support for specifying how to pass parameters in 
the definition of a custom processor.

Having some pre-configured processor types sounds a good shortcut when 
adding a new processor. Regarding the processor version upgrade, we are 
considering also as an alternative adding support for multiple versions 
of the same processor - that however introduces a new level of 
complexity and some issues with the transformation scenarios that may 
end up referring to processors that no longer exist when one removes an 
older version. The benefit compared with custom processors will be that 
debugging and profiling support will be available (if that processor has 
debugging/profiling support in oXygen).

Currently the only possibility to pass parameters to a custom processor 
is to define those parameters in the command line that is used in the 
definition for the custom processor.

Best Regards,
George
