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.
However, when I run xslt:version(), it returns "2.0" - which implies the system is set up for XSLT 2.0 stylesheets.
Is there some other setting somewhere that might need to be updated, to enable the system to run an XSLT 2.0 transform?
Thank you,
Martin

Hi Martin,
BaseX 8.6.7 is pretty old now. Could you please if the behavior can be reproduced with the latest version of BaseX?
Thanks in advance, Christian

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.

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,
You always had to get the Saxon HE JAR and the xmlresolve JAR yourself to transform XSLT 2.0 and higher and put it in lib/custom. This is using the BaseX ZIP distribution, I don't know where this is when you use setup, I don't use anything but ZIP). By default the XSL transform built into JRE is used and that is Xerces XSLT 1.0 as far as I know. Last I tried you can get any Saxon HE you like even 12.x and it will work with BaseX 8.6.7
Best regards Omar
