Public bug reported:
The extension functions seem to be disabled in the Saxon B XSLT 2.0
processor that is packaged for Ubuntu/Debian. This is very surprising,
because Saxon is maybe the only conformant XSLT 2.0 processor that is
free, and extension functions are one of it's big selling points.
If there are are strong reasons for disabling these functions, this
should be clearly expressed in the manual pages. (Note, that the manual
is otherwise very complete, and descriptive.)
As an example, currently it is not possible to use the often-required
xsl:result-document function:
$ saxonb-xslt -t -xsl:test.xsl -s:test.xml
Saxon 9.0.0.4J from Saxonica
Java version 1.6.0_14
Error at xsl:result-document on line 5 of file:/home/jerzy/xml/tests/test.xsl:
xsl:result-document is disabled when extension functions are disabled
Failed to compile stylesheet. 1 error detected.
The same error happens when the program is invoked directly,
circumventing the shipped script:
$ java -classpath /usr/share/java/saxonb.jar net.sf.saxon.Transform
-xsl:test.xsl -s:test.xml
Error at xsl:result-document on line 5 of file:/home/jerzy/xml/tests/test.xsl:
xsl:result-document is disabled when extension functions are disabled
Failed to compile stylesheet. 1 error detected.
The 'test.xsl' stylesheet file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:template match="value">
<xsl:result-document href="{.}">
<test>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</test>
</xsl:result-document>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
The 'test.xml' source XML file:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<data>
<value>A1</value>
<value>B1</value>
<value>C1</value>
<value>A2</value>
<value>B2</value>
<value>C2</value>
</data>
