collation problem

[Mark Wilson-10]

 

I have read in the archive that to add my own collator to Oxygen, I must drop the jar file in the oxygen lib folder. I have done this, and still get the same error message:

 

F [Saxon-B 9.0.0.6] Collation http://saxon.sf.net/collation?class=CzechCollation has not been defined.

 

The line from my XSLT file is:  <xsl:sort select="Author" collation="http://saxon.sf.net/collation?class=CzechCollation"/>

 

The jar tf command tell me the jar file contains the following manifest (I know very little about java):

META-INF

META-INF/MANIFEST.MF

CzechCollation.class

 

However, when I click on the jar , I get the error message: "failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute from ..." I assume this happens because the jar does not contain an application. Anyway, The CzechCollation.java file follows (Substantially shortened).

Thanks,

Mark

I'm afraid I don't know the oXygen environment particularly well. The most likely explanation for this error is that the class could not be loaded, and the most likely reason for that is that the JAR isn't on the classpath.

 

The Saxon command line option -t gives better diagnostics when user-supplied classes can't be loaded. There should be some way of switching that on within oXygen, if not, please try running it from the command line.

 

The "failure to load Main-Class" is not a problem

Hello Michael,

Thanks for your answer. I did the following:

I changed the stylesheet to reflect some suggestions you made elsewhere:

<xsl:param name=" sorting-collation" select="'http://saxon.sf.net/collation?class=CzechCollation'" />

<xsl:sort select="Author" collation="{$sorting-collation}"/>

I moved the CzechCollation.jar, the xml input file and the xsl stylesheet all to my saxon directory and ran on the command line

java -jar saxon9.jar -t SelectedAuthors.xml Authors2.xsl > SortedAuthors.xml

 

The Errors simply said:

Loading net.sf.saxon.even.MessageEmmitter

Loading CzechCollation

No Java class CzechCollation could be loaded

Warning: failed to load CzechCollation

 

I tried three changes in the XSL stylesheet: CzechCollation, CzechCollarion.class and CzechColation.jar, but none helped.

 

I have been at this for two solid days and have learned a great deal but have not solved my problem.

I am not sure what a classpath is (my java is very weak). Could that be my problem? Did moving everything to the saxon directory help?

 

Thank,

Mark

None of that will have any effect on the classpath. Don’t use the –jar option with Saxon; it’s Java, not Saxon, that will not bother to load any of your additional JARs. Saxon doesn’t load your JARs in any case, so putting them in the Saxon directory accomplishes nothing.

 

What you want is something like (let’s assume you’re writing a DOS batch file):

set SAXON_HOME=C:\Documents and Settings\tnassar\Desktop\saxonb9-1-0-1j

set SAXON_JAR=%SAXON_HOME%\saxon9.jar

 

REM I assume your collation JAR is in the current directory.

Hello, Tony.

That got me squared away. The collation class -- after some fiddling because of the error reported below -- now appears to work. However (and this is the wrong list to ask but I do not know where to go, can someone answer or point me there?), my fiddling made the error go away, but it seems somehow a very wrong fix.

-----------------------------

The Error:

---------------------------------------------------
 I tried to put the missing chars below A,a, but it still failed. Then I put them below P,P [as the error message seemed to indicate and it failed UNLESS I put them on the same level as O,o

Worked: "<O,o, '(','=',',',';','&',')' < P,p."

Failed: "<O,o, < '(','=',',',';','&',')' < P,p."

When you run from the command line using the -jar option, no classes other than those in saxon9.jar will be loaded. The classpath is ignored.

 

With this configuration, use

 

java -cp saxon9.jar;CzechCollation.jar net.sf.saxon.Transform -t SelectedAuthors.xml Authors2.xsl > SortedAuthors.xml

I don't immediately know the answer and I've got limited internet access today to research it for you.

 

I would strongly suggest testing your collation class before trying to invoke it from Saxon. To do this add a method

 

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

    System.err.println(new CzechCollation().compare(args[0], arg[1]));

}

 

and you will then be able to invoke your class directly from the command line, with two strings to be compared as arguments.

If you use Windows, make sure you set the commandline to use UTF-8,
otherwise this will be little use for non us-ascii / windows-1252
characters. See the saxon wiki, which has a copy of a post of mine about
this.

Thank Michael,

I am going to try some java programmers today since I can load the class now and it does work (except for the silliness with having to put the punctuation on the same level as the letter O). If you are interested in the resolution (if I get one), let me know and I will pass it on to you.

Thanks so much for your help,

Mark
