Re: Using Saxon with the XSLT 1.0 Stylesheets

Quick update: I messed up the Saxon 6.5.5 command by not realizing the spaces after the ='s are causing problems when separating the lines like that. However, now I am getting empty man pages (0 bytes).

Hi,

I'm trying to produce man pages with Saxon. I've used xsltproc successfully in the part on the same DocBook document. I would rather use Saxon 9-HE, if possible. If not, I suppose I can fall back to Saxon 6.5.5. Here's what I've tried with both:

With Saxon 9-HE:

$ java -jar /usr/share/java/Saxon-HE.jar -o:foo.3 -s:bar.xml -xsl:/usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/doocbook-xsl-ns/manpages/docbook.xsl -xi:on

Warning at xsl:stylesheet on line 9 column 31 of utility.xsl:

  unexpected behavior

With Saxon 6.5.5:

$ java -cp "/usr/share/java/saxon.jar:/usr/share/java/xercesImpl.jar" \
     -Djavax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory=\
       org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl \
     -Djavax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory=\
       org.apache.xerces.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl \
     com.icl.saxon.StyleSheet \
     -o man/man3/mcl.3 src/docbook/mcl.xml /usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/docbook-xsl-ns/manpages/docbook.xsl
Error: Main method not found in class org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl, please define the main method as:
   public static void main(String[] args)
or a JavaFX application class must extend javafx.application.Application

Also, if I have to use Saxon 6.5.5, can I use the saxon-xslt utility to make things less verbose? What should I pass to it?

Sorry for the beginner questions.

Thanks,

Bogdan
