Default XSLT Processor?

["Dhruva B. Reddy" <sl...@yahoo.com>]

Which XSLT processor does ANT use by default?

(I'm using 1.5.4 with Sun JDK 1.4.1)

Thanks,
Dhruva

you want 'javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory'

fwiw, for your parser you would use 'org.xml.sax.parser'

But, in ant (don't know about 1.6) I have had to use mtxslt:

If anyone knows this property pls shout up, I suspect this is related to
default JAXP setting

Another method would be to use a macro-def or perhaps even better, to
use a presetdef

   <presetdef name="saxon">
      <xslt in="in.xml" out="out.xml"
      style="style/apache.xsl"
	processor="Saxon">
	  <outputproperty name="method" value="xml";/>
	  <outputproperty name="standalone" value="yes"/>
	  <outputproperty name="encoding" value="iso8859_1"/>
	  <outputproperty name="indent" value="yes"/>
	</xslt>
   </presetdef>

This has the added benefit of being able to define default values, as
well as overriding each attribute, as illustrated in the following
usage;

	<saxon in="test.xml" out="test.xslt"/>


Cheers, Jim Fuller

JDK1.4.x includes an old version of Xalan.  As such, the default parser 
will be that old version of Xalan, unless you provide a newer one using the 
endorsed override mechanism (put a new xalan.jar in 
JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/endorsed).  There is probably also a way to use a 
different processor by setting a system property, but I'm not sure what 
that property is???  BTW, if you use the endorsed override mechanism, I 
suggest you use Xalan from the "2jars" distribution.  The other one (which 
is bigger) includes an old version of BCEL which can interfere with 
applications that use newer versions of BCEL.  This happened to me when 
working with the "enhancer" Ant task provided by the Lido JDO 
implementation from LIBeLIS.  It reported a NoSuchMethodException until I 
used the Xalan jar without BCEL.  Oh, and BCEL is used in Xalan these days 
for XSLTC.  But you can provide BCEL separately on the classpath if you 
want to work with that.
