tomcat and xslt 2.0
Correct me if I'm wrong here: as I understand it, tomcat uses Xalan as its
XSLT engine. Xalan does not support XSLT 2.0 .
Is there any other XSLT engine I can use with tomcat (I read something about
Saxon)? If so, how do I do that?
Thanks,
Zohar.

Sorry, I've been too busy or scatter brained to check here.
I use jdom and invoke this as:
System.setProperty("javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory",
"net.sf.saxon.TransformerFactoryImpl");
trans = new XSLTransformer( new FileInputStream( mytransform ));
I think that you have to request this before you request the
TransformerFactory then cast the
TransformerFactory to a SAXTransformerFactory before creating the
Templates object. I sort of do this step out of force of habit and I'm
not sure it is absolutely necessary (I think not).
As to the NPE, when saxon does the initial parse of the xslt it reports
errors, which is a good thing since I write most
of my xslt in emacs. If the xslt doesn't compile you will get an NPE,
but that doesn't mean that's your problem in this case. Make sure you
are logging your exceptions.
Wish I could be more helpful

I've tried putting it right before TransformerFactory.newInstance() .
now, when I invoke the transform method I get NPE at
net.sf.saxon.Controller.transform(Controller.java:1319)
Any help?

Thanks.
Where do I put the System.setProperty(...)?

I think there are not that many xslt 2.0 engines out there to choose
from. In any case saxon is xslt 2.0 and very fast. You have to include the
jar (obvious, but....) and before you instantiate a TransformerFactory
set the System property:
System.setProperty( "javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory",
"net.sf.saxon.TransformerFactoryImpl");
You will get a warning if the xslt is 1.0, but it will still compile and
function.
