Thank you, Liam.

I sorted this out by upgrading the version of the Saxon processor in my /lib/ directory from 9.7 to 9.9.

I did already have xsl:stylesheet/@version = '2.0' in my stylesheet, and BaseX appeared to be set to run XSLT 2.0: running xslt:transform() in the GUI returned a value of "2.0". However, the older Saxon version didn't handle XSLT 2.0 functions.

Regards,

Martin

Hi

I’m trying to run a query in BaseX (version 8.6.7) which calls an XSLT
2.0 stylesheet using xslt:transform(). I’m getting errors that clearly
imply the system does not recognise XSLT 2.0 functions, and is
expecting an XSLT 1.0 stylesheet.

Did you get sorted out? You need to put a copy of your XSLT processor, e.g. Saxon, in the lib/custom directory, e.g. saxonpe.jar and of course make sure the stylesheet has version="2" on the xsl:stylesheet element.
