Re: Debugging XSL with XML Spy 5

2003-02-11 11:26:35
Using a debugger with its proprietary and also "hidden" XSLT processor
is definitely not a good idea:

1. There's no proof and no way to prove that the "internal" XSLT
processor is 100% XSLT compliant.

2. Even if the XSLT application behaves well when run with that
"internal processor" there is no guarantee that it will run in the same
way with a concrete real-world XSLT processor.


I am happy to use a great XSLT IDE that as of now provides two
debuggers -- for MSXML4 and MSXML3.

Does anybody know anything about the internal xsl processor that
ships with
XML Spy 5 ?
This is the processor that Spy uses when with its debugging tool.
The problem I have is that my transforms use an extension function -
namely
msxml's node-set function. Does anybody know if there is an
equivalent in
Spy's processor and if so what the namespace is.

Thanks

Dave
