Re: [xsl] Definite list of XSLT 2.0 processors?

for XRX i use eXist-db and it work great with Saxon (both java-based)

Hi Vyacheslav,
I think you accidentally replied on someone else's micro-thread and not mine
which was:
Vyacheslav Sedov wrote:
LAMP should go away and leave place to XRX
An unexpected but nevertheless an interesting answer.
FWIW, From the first sentence of the Wikipedia writeup on XRX:
"In software development XRX is a web application architecture based on
XForms, REST and XQuery."
Not a mention of XSLT there so to challenge your response ...
Would it be reasonable to rephrase my question as:
"Given the neglect (i.e. XSLT 2 for XRX), does the XRX community really
want one?"
(Notwithstanding, and with no disrespect to, Saxon of course).
Regards Justin Johansson
XSLT not present as single entity in LAMP too ;)
Accepted. You have good counter-point that XSLT is not part of the either
acronyms XRX or LAMP.
Still the overall context of this thread was about XSLT 2 processors for
different platforms
and Michael Kay mentioned LAMP as an platform lacking the same for whatever
(mostly commercial) reasons.
So even if things were as you would like them to be, namely LAMP go away and
XRX take its place,
question still remains as to where to source your XSLT 2 processor from for
your XRX environment.
Regards
Justin Johansson

convert XML data that you got from any database as XML and turn it
into XHTML, ODF, OOXML or any other XML (in most cases), so it just
similar case when you "call XSLT" from PHP, Perl and so on but best
"host language" for XSLT is XQuery
for example
let $param := (),
$validation2schm := transform:transform(v:all-rules($department,
$period), doc("/db/service/form/validation2schematron.xsl"), $param),
$schm2xsl := transform:transform($validation2schm,
doc("/db/service/schematron/iso_svrl_for_xslt2.xsl"), $param),
$report := transform:transform($table, $schm2xsl, $param),...
just 3 lines of code for 3 xsl transformations ;)

Hi Christoph,
didn't see your message earlier, sorry for a late reply. Have you anyhow
published the (disappointing) results of your efforts? What processors,
other than Saxon, have you managed to get running on Linux?
Also, to follow-up on my own statements about .NET, Microsoft and XSLT
2.0,
I just came across a more recent (2009-11-18) unofficial reply from the
Microsoft XML team which is backing up my believe that Microsoft has
dropped
plans for implementing XSLT 2.0.

While XML continues to be a key part of our platform going forward, we
have
decided not to pursue an XSLT 2.0 implementation at this time. If there
is a
specific XSLT task you’re trying to accomplish and are having difficulty
with XSLT 1.0, please let us know and we’ll do our best to help.

Dear all,
[Michael, sorry that you got the mail several times, I had some trouble
posting to the list]
recently I made a very subjective review of all XSLT 2.0 processors
that
I
could get to run on Linux. The objective was running my XML→RDF
extraction
library Krextor (http://kwarc.info/krextor/), which makes heavy use of
XSLT
2.0 features; one might even call it a "stress test". I also tried
running a
set of much simpler XSLTs called JOMDoc (http://jomdoc.omdoc.org), which
convert OMDoc, a complex DocBook-like markup language for math, to
XHTML.
The evaluation was biased because before I had only tested the
implementation
with Saxon. In possible cases where Saxon does not conform to the spec,
my
implementation might be "wrong", but works with Saxon. And, of course,
the
"evaluation" is quite incomplete, as I got disappointed quickly.
