JAXP and XSLT 2.0 / XPATH 2.0

843834Nov 26 2007 — edited Nov 26 2007
I cannot find a version of JAXP that indicates support for XSLT 2.0 / XPATH 2.0.

Does any release of JAXP support XSLT 2.0 / XPATH 2.0?

If not, can I still tell the transformer to do XSLT 2.0 transformations using the Saxon 9.0? And if so, what sort of limitations will I encounter when using JAXP?

Otherwise, do I have to use a Saxon specific API to use XSLT 2.0 from Java?

It seems to me that Saxon should behave normally (i.e. do XSLT 2.0 transformations when the version is 2.0) even if it's called from JAXP. Was that not the case when you tried it?

And I would expect the Saxonica website to mention JAXP somewhere. Did you look there?

The JAXP 1.4 documentation states that it only supports XSLT 1.0 and XPATH 1.0.

I really want to use XSLT 2.0 and XPATH 2.0. However, if JAXP 1.4 doesn't support it then I will not use JAXP for the project.
