While researching the XPath evaluator question I came across something that raised a question about Xalan initialization so I'll ask it while I continue digging.
I came across the following in the mail list archive, dated 2006-04-26, re: "Regarding XPath query": As I said previously, the best thing to do is to call > XalanTransformer::initialize() in main(), and remove any usage of the > "Init" classes. The sample app on which the code I'm writing is based - SimpleXPathAPI - calls XMLPlatformUtils::Initialize() and XPathEvaluator::initialize() and also instantiates a XalanSourceTreeInit class. My code does exactly this and is working. The example code Dave sent me in a previous post uses XalanTransformer::initialize() instead of XPathEvaluator::initialize(). Q: should I replace XPathEvaluator::initialize() with XalanTransformer::initialize()? (probably yes) Q: do I still need the XalanSourceTreeInit class? (really don't know) Thank you in advance, -will
