Re: [xsl] Running xsltproc does not produce any output

Jim,

But your requirements are pretty well within what XSLT 1.0 will do, allowing
for how ugly the string processing is likely to be - so you're not completely
stuck.

I would recommend playing around with the XSLT in an online test environment -
there are a bunch that will run in your browser safely, or safely enough. XSLT
Fiddle or the functional equivalent.

If you need to brush up on XSLT, this list still retains a depth of 1.0
expertise - although please make that clear so no one is tempted to offer an
up-to-date solution you can't use.

Cheers, Wendell

Hi Wendell,

as I mentioned, this is being done in the context of a COTs (commercial
product), so we don't have much flexility as far as the XSLT version (more
precisely, it would be a LOT of other things involved, like approvals, etc.),
so I think we are stuck with XSLT 1.0, unless it is not possible.


FYI, I was trying to setup a test using XSLT and Java, and during that
process, I just realized that the XALAN that they were listing in that 3rd
party notice PDF is XALAN-C, and not XALAN Java.

I was noticing that version listed in their doc was "1.12", whereas the maven
repo was showing 2.7.x and was puzzling over that, when I noticed that there
was a separate XALAN-C package that had V1.12 :( ....

In retrospect, that kind of makes sense I guess... as I mentioned the CyberArk
software is on Windows....

So I think if we were to try to do extensions, I'd need to be working with
VC/VC++ ... which I don't think we will do...

So, "back to the drawing board" and try to see if I can do this with pure XSLT
1.0.   Not sure where to start though :( ....

Sigh...

Jim
