RE: [docbook-apps] CLASSPATH and Saxon

Hi Tony,

Thanks for your suggestion.

Yes I came to knew that from "Saxonica" website. I think "DocBook XSL: The
Complete Guide Fourth Edition" has outdated information in this regard.

But still sample syntaxes mentioned in the
"http://www.saxonica.com/documentation/about/gettingstarted/gettingstarteddo
tnet.xml" are not working properly in my case:

java -cp saxon9he.jar net.sf.saxon.Transform -t -s:samples/data/books.xml
-xsl:samples/styles/books.xsl -o:c:/temp.html

The above syntax not working, whereas if I modified something like below it
works:

java net.sf.saxon.Transform -t -s:C:/saxonhe9-2-1-5j/samples/data/books.xml
-xsl:C:/saxonhe9-2-1-5j/samples/styles/books.xsl -o:c:/temp.html

Original first syntax gives error as follows:

C:\Documents and Settings\007.TECHSETINDIA.000>java -cp saxon9he.jar
net.sf.saxon.Transform -t -s:samples/data/books.xml
 -xsl:samples/styles/books.xsl -o:c:/temp.html
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
net/sf/saxon/Transform
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: net.sf.saxon.Transform
        at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(Unknown Source)
        at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)
        at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(Unknown Source)

        at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)
        at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)
Could not find the main class: net.sf.saxon.Transform.  Program will exit.

Whereas modified second syntax works correctly. Can anyone help me why "-cp"
is not working as expected in "windows XP"?

Thanks,
Srikrishnan

You have a mismatch between the Saxon version that you say you want to use
and the Saxon version that you are using.

Saxon 9 uses package names that begin 'net.sf.saxon' and, AFAICT, doesn't
have a 'StyleSheet' class.  In fact, Saxon package names haven't begun
with 'com.icl.saxon' for many years.

It may be that you want the old Saxon 6.5 version, not the newer Saxon 9.
