RE: [xsl] Different regex behaviour on Windows & Linux using Saxon

2007-08-30 09:11:49
Saxon contains code designed to mask the differences between the regex
behaviour on JDK 1.4 and JDK 1.5, and it seems it is failing to mask the
difference in this instance. I will investigate.

saxon converts the xpath regex to a java regex and the java regular 
expression handler changed a lot (at java 1.4 or 1.5, I can't 
remember) and so saxon has to use different code depending 
on the jvm 
being used (as far as i recall) so it probably matters more which 
version of java you have rather than whether it's windows or linux.

David,

You were bang on. The Win box was 1.5 and Linux box 1.4.2. 
I've upgraded both machines to 1.6 and the regex now works as 
expected.

Thanks a lot! 

Bruce
