xslt extension question
hi
i'm trying to run the <xslt> task using saxon.jar - that bits fine ie
<xslt classpath="${lib}/saxon.jar"..................
the problem is the xslt script has an extension to make the output SGML ie
<xsl:output method="my.sgml.jar".............
so the question is: how do i pass the location of this jar file to saxon?
i've tried:
1. adding it to the classpath <xslt
classpath="${lib}/saxon.jar:${lib}/SGMLEmitter.jar"
2. adding a <classpath> element to <xslt>
3. adding it to the ant/lib along with saxon.jar
but.... nothing worked. any ideas greatly appreciated.
cheers mary

I guess it's possible Saxon attempts to load the class from the system
classloader, instead of the context classloader, or the classloader
that loaded Saxon itself.
In this case, try setting the CLASSPATH env. var to include
SGMLEmitter.jar before invoking Ant. If this does indeed solve your
issue, please inform Mr. Kay, so that he may attempt to load custom
emitters in a more Ant-friendly fashion.
Thanks, --DD

Yeah, that's a funny syntaxt, isn't it? But note that @method read
"my.sgml.jar", which could be a class or package name in
SGMLEmitter.jar... Just guessing ;-) --DD

don't you need something like
xsl:output/@method="myprefix:sgml"
? I didn't know you could put the jar file there. If you can, then would
you need the path set correctly? Do you have it in the same directory as
the XSL?
Anyway, you could try to run the build with the -verbose flag to get
more information.

hi robert
sadly i need sgml not html. running the script with saxon on a command
line is fine
ie java -cp saxon.jar:.:SGMLEmitter.jar icl.org.saxon.StyleSheet xslt
input out
(sorry haven't got the line at hand but its close enough) but now i want
to invoke it from ant's xslt task and the doc seems to say the callpath
att is for the xslt proc - fine - but the proc ie saxon.jar can't find
SGMLEmitter.jar - hence problem.

This is not valid.
Why not just use method="html" with whatever? Also just set
doctype-public and doctype-system to your particular values.
