Hi,
Yes, my book is out of date when it mentions Saxon 8, since Saxon 9 is the current
release. That will get fixed in the next edition.
Keep in mind that Saxon 9 is an XSLT 2.0 processor, while the DocBook XSL stylesheets
in general distribution are written for XSLT 1.0. Although they may work in Saxon 9
in backwards compatibility mode, you may experience some problems. I don't write about
using Saxon 9 in my book because I'm not willing to support using it with the current
stylesheets. 8^)
There is a new version of the DocBook stylesheets under development in XSLT 2.0.
However, those are a complete rewrite by Norm Walsh, and my current book won't be very
useful for using them.

Subject: RE: [docbook-apps] CLASSPATH and Saxon
Hi Tony,
Thanks for your suggestion.
Yes I came to knew that from "Saxonica" website. I think "DocBook XSL: The
Complete Guide Fourth Edition" has outdated information in this regard.
But still sample syntaxes mentioned in the
"http://www.saxonica.com/documentation/about/gettingstarted/gettingstarteddo
tnet.xml" are not working properly in my case:
java -cp saxon9he.jar net.sf.saxon.Transform -t -s:samples/data/books.xml
-xsl:samples/styles/books.xsl -o:c:/temp.html
The above syntax not working, whereas if I modified something like below it
works:
java net.sf.saxon.Transform -t -s:C:/saxonhe9-2-1-5j/samples/data/books.xml
-xsl:C:/saxonhe9-2-1-5j/samples/styles/books.xsl -o:c:/temp.html
Original first syntax gives error as follows:
C:\Documents and Settings\007.TECHSETINDIA.000>java -cp saxon9he.jar
net.sf.saxon.Transform -t -s:samples/data/books.xml
-xsl:samples/styles/books.xsl -o:c:/temp.html
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
net/sf/saxon/Transform
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: net.sf.saxon.Transform
at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(Unknown Source)
at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)
at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(Unknown Source)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)
at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)
Could not find the main class: net.sf.saxon.Transform. Program will exit.
Whereas modified second syntax works correctly. Can anyone help me why "-cp"
is not working as expected in "windows XP"?
Thanks,
Srikrishnan

You have a mismatch between the Saxon version that you say you want to use
and the Saxon version that you are using.
Saxon 9 uses package names that begin 'net.sf.saxon' and, AFAICT, doesn't
have a 'StyleSheet' class. In fact, Saxon package names haven't begun
with 'com.icl.saxon' for many years.
It may be that you want the old Saxon 6.5 version, not the newer Saxon 9.
