[C2] Cocoon2 w/ Saxon rather than Xalan : problem

[Rick Tessner <ri...@dingle.myra.com>]

Hello All,

Today I sat down and attempted to use Saxon (6.2.2) instead of
Xalan with Cocoon2.

It was simply a matter of replacing the xalan.jar with saxon.jar
in the WEB-INF/lib directory.  All the non-XSP stuff worked just
fine with a performance improvement of approx 20%.  (I'm primarily
using the DocBook stylesheets for both HTML and PDF and the
20% number is simply based on the "Processed by Apache Cocoon 2.0a5 ..."
lines in WEB-INF/logs/cocoon.log)

I then tried the "Simple XSP" link on the standard "Welcome" page.  That
fails and the "cocoon.log" shows an explicit reference to a Xalan in the
TraxTransformer.recycle() method.

I guess this means that Saxon doesn't fully work with Cocoon2 yet?
I noticed that a while back there was discussion on C1 working
with saxon.  Is it planned that C2 will play nice with saxon as well?

Relavent bits of the cocoon.log included below:
