Description Xavier Dury 2004-07-22 10:03:19 UTC 
I'm willing to use a custom TransformerFactory (and a custom SAXParserFactory 
which does implicit schema validation for default values) by specifying the new 
classname into a file META-INF/services/javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory 
in the classpath... But the classpath attribute of xslt/style task doesn't take 
this file into account, nor my custom transformerfactory .class file, nor the 
libraries it needs like xalan (and xerces for the parserfactory).

Another problem is that my xsl often make use of calls to external classes to 
do some controls, therefor I need to add those classes to the classpath, once 
again the xslt/style task classpath attribute doesn't allow that...

Is it possible to make this classpath/classpathref attribute more global and 
not just for specifying the factory to use? I don't see why it's so limited.

This sounds like a duplicate of bug #41314 and bug #46172.
Comment 2 Stefan Bodewig 2008-12-04 02:45:36 UTC 
No, not a duplicate because it is talking about usage of META-INF/services/javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory from classpath.
