The problem was with the filename, as it started with a drive letter,
and the URL handling code was interpreting that as a URI scheme. I
fixed that and put out a new release. It seems to be working fine for
me, both with XEmacs/Linux and GNU Emacs/Windows 2000. Please let me
know if it works for you.

I've fixed the problems with GNU Emacs, you may want to do a cvs
update and check if it works for you.

Hi Ovidiu,

updated and found that you fixed the error.
Don't have much time now but found a quick problem.

Cannot find the trax XSLT processor for debugging!
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: xslt.debugger.trax.XSLTDebugger

Will do more testing during the next days.

You need to remove all the configuration options for the previous
version of XSLT-process from your .xemacs-options or ~/.emacs
file. Just search for variables that start with xslt-process and
remove the corresponding lines.

Thanks,
Ovidiu

Thanks for going through the hoops, I looked at the stack trace and I
found that GNU Emacs has a different syntax for make-char-table. I use
XEmacs for my development and do ports to GNU Emacs from time to time
only. I will look into the problem and let you know when I have a fix
for it.

Yes, I discovered that too some time ago. The XSLT processing though
seems to create the XSLT processor each time you invoke it, thus there
is a start-up overhead each time you run it. I use the editing mode
for XSLTs though, it's quite nice.

Ovidiu

Can you do a cvs update and see if the error still persists? I fixed
how the Java class files are loaded.

If you do get this error, please set the variable debug-on-error to t
and let me know the result. You can do this by evaluating using M-:
the Lisp expression:

(setq debug-on-error t)

Please send me the stack trace you get.

Thanks,
Ovidiu

Hello Ovidiu,

Thaks for responding. I have been trying again with the new version (1.2.2).
It does not work when I invoke the processor the first time. If I kill the
bsh buffer after the first try, and then try again it works! After that it
stays like that, I have to kill the bsh buffer between every invocation to
make it work.
Maybe it has something to do with the writing of the temporary files,
because xslt-process leaves temporary files around when it failes. Sometimes
these contain the expected output, but other times they do not. I have not
been able to find a pattern in this behavior.

Regards, Gerrit Niestijl

Re: xslt-process

[Carsten H. <ca...@oc...>]

updated from cvs. unfortunately the error is still there. 
here is the backtrace:

Signaling: (wrong-type-argument integerp nil)
  make-char-table(char)
  (defvar xslt-process-escape-char-table (make-char-table (quote char)) "Mapping table for escape characters.")
  eval-buffer(#<buffer  *load*> nil "xslt-process")
  load-with-code-conversion("/usr/local/share/emacs/xslt-process/lisp/xslt-process.el" "xslt-process" nil nil)
  xslt-process-mode()
  run-hooks(xml-mode-hook)
  derived-mode-run-hooks(xml-mode)
  xml-mode()
  call-interactively(xml-mode)
  execute-extended-command(nil)
* call-interactively(execute-extended-command)



When searching for a xsl-mode i found the following package
http://www.menteith.com/xslide/

They mention a 'xsl-process' which sounds like a reduced version of yours.

thx

I am planning to add these features for the next release, they are in
the ToDo list. You may want to check out the SourceForge project at:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/xslt-process/

for the next version of it. The source code is only in CVS for the
moment, there's no release yet. I hope to create a release as soon as
I write some documentation for it.

The new features of this release include debugging abilities (for
Saxon only now), error reporting through a compilation-like buffer,
improved start-up time (by not using BSH anymore) and less
dependencies on external packages.

This should work, at least works for me with the development version
of the mode. Please give it a try if you have time.

grabbed the new sources from cvs and tried it.

When i try to start 'xslt-process' it says
Wrong type argument: integerp, nil
